Mark 9:7-8. And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
And although this was not so ravishing or so astonishing a sight, yet it was more encouraging to them, - something which they could more easily bear with joy and peace: "they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves." May God grant to us, as long as we are here below, that, If no Moses or Elias shall ever come to visit us, at any rate Jesus may never be absent from us! May our fellowship with him be unbroken!
