While He yet spake, behold, a bright cloud
overshadowed them: and behold a Voice out of the cloud, which said, This is My
beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased: hear ye Him. And when the disciples heard it, they fell on
their face, and were sore afraid. Matthew,
Chapter 17, verses 5-6.
You know
how famous football players and movie stars are on commercials endorsing
particular products they like, so others will come to know how good they
are? Well, this is an endorsement from
God so the disciples of Jesus would know how good He is. His is an endorsement that defies all
explanation.
It makes
me wonder what God’s endorsement of me would be. “This is one of my supposed followers,
Debbie. She is a ‘Back Seat Driver
Christian,’ telling others how they should live their lives as Christians,
unwilling to do the same. It would have
been nice to count her as one of My flock, but she backed away from
opportunities that I have given her to share her faith-so sad!”
Since this is an example of the positive influence God has made on my walk with Christ, this may not reflect the whole meaning of the Bible verses.
