“And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.”
Luke 9:35 KJV
Luke records Jesus talking to Moses and Elijah as Peter, James and John watched on the mount of transfiguration. As the cloud enveloped them, they heard a voice from within the cloud, This is My Son, the Incarnate Logos - hear Him! The voice of His Father confirms that His beloved Son is the conclusion of the conversation represented in both Moses (the law) and Elijah (the prophets). Jesus is the conversation of God - He is the Logos - the Word - the I AM. God’s eloquence echoes and concludes in Him. The Word equals God. As Peter said that they had not followed cunningly devised fables, when they made known to us the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. For He received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to Him from the excellent glory, This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven they heard, when they were with Him in the holy mount. Let’s honour the Word of God! Glory to God!
