[The Glory Unveiled]
“But while Peter was still speaking, a bright radiant cloud spread over them, enveloping them all. And God’s voice suddenly spoke from the cloud, saying, “This is my dearly loved Son, the constant focus of my delight. Listen to him!”” [ Matthew 17: 5 TPT ]
The Lord Jesus is the constant focus of God’s delight. In every generation; yesterday, today and tomorrow, the Lord Jesus remains the constant focus of God’s delight. On this auspicious occasion, [recorded in our text] God demonstrated that Jesus is always His focus. In that meeting, other personalities were in attendance but God had eyes for just One. This reinforces the truth that nothing can get God’s attention by going around Christ. No one can have anything that God offers without passing through Christ. While Peter was still speaking, the Father cut in. He will not let another share His glory;—Peter was talking about dividing the glory among the three personalities, Moses, Elijah and the Lord Jesus. And so the father came in to clarify things. The Father spoke and said, the Son is the constant focus of His delight. In other words, the only person who perfectly catches His attention is the Son. This is why we cannot please God by ourselves apart from Christ. And the reason why we are only saved when we hide in the Lord Jesus by faith. Nothing else brings delight to the father like the Son. We can only please the father in the Son. When we present ourselves to God through faith in His Son, then we too become His delight but apart from that, we cannot please Him. Nothing else replaces the Son to the father and so we cannot put anything or anyone else in place of the Son for our salvation and redemption. Not Moses, not Elijah and certainly not our pastor or prophet. If ever we want to be the delight of God, we must hide in the constant focus of His delight, His Son.
