And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only. Matthew 17:8 – A wonderful, yet terrifying, thing just unfolded in front of these three disciples. Invited by Jesus, the one they had been faithfully following for a good amount of time now, the four of them hike up the mountain. At the top they experienced something none could have imagined. Jesus drops His earthly mask and His glory is seen. Moses and Elijah appear and speak with Jesus. The shekinah glory of God envelops them and they hear the voice of the Father. All this was too much and they fell flat to the ground, not looking around. Yet, after Jesus gently directs them to get up, what do they see? The cloud of glory is gone, Moses is gone, and Elijah is gone. Only Jesus remained…and that was enough. Yet in our life, when everything else fades away and all that remains is only Jesus, is that enough for us? When the dream no longer exists, when the relationship we cherished ends, when the abundance is taken away, and all that remains in our life is Jesus only…is that enough for us? It’s a question that must be answered for in this life most everything has an expiration date. Relationships, jobs, money, school, trophies, and possessions all expire and will leave us one day. Yet in our story Jesus will never leave us and we’ll never exist a day for the rest of eternity without Him. If though Jesus is the only thing remaining, have you made the choice to say He alone is enough for you? As you begin to grow in your knowledge of the Lord, academic knowledge and relational knowledge, you will see how more than enough Jesus only is. In fact everything else will begin to fade in the background as we grow in our life with Jesus. Settle that Jesus only is more than enough for you, so when the other things in life come and go, you remain filled. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 3339
