This is my beloved Son, hear Him.

At the mount of transfiguration, Peter, James and John noticed the radiance of Jesus as He was transfigured. His light shone forth so brilliantly that night that no word could possibly described. At the same time, Moses and Elijah were talking to Jesus.

Peter, in his usual impulsive self, spoke to build three tabernacles for Jesus, Moses and Elijah. All of sudden, a voice came from heaven saying, "This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, hear Him." Peter was afraid. So were James and John. They were probably terrified by the voice.

However, when Jesus came to them and touched them, He spoke, "Arise, and do not be afraid." What comfort did those words bring to the three disciples. Those words were not just words of comfort but also words of encouragement, assurance, and authority.

Today, whatever challenges that we are facing, when we hear Jesus, He is still speaking, "Arise, and do not be afraid." Jesus is saying that we can rely on Him to deliver us out of our predicaments. Jesus is encouraging us to be strong in Him. He is giving us His assurance that all things will work together for our good and He is speaking all these words with the authority that's vested in Him.

Hear Jesus today. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Hallelujah!

What are you conscious of today?

When we wake up today, what are we conscious of? Are we conscious of the difficult challenges that lie ahead? Are we conscious of the pain and symptom of our bodies? Are we conscious of the meagre balance in our bank account?

What are we really conscious of each day when we wake up? Or, Who are we conscious of when we wake up each day? The bible tells us to be Christ conscious. When we are Christ conscious, the challenges shall be resolved. When we see Jesus at the cross and realised that we're the healed of the Lord, the pain and symptom will be no more. When we know that the Almighty God was made poor that we through His poverty might be made rich, we shall be poor no more.

At the cross, Jesus died to take our place of sin so we might take His place of righteousness. At the cross, he took all our sicknesses and diseases that we might be whole and well. At the cross, He had nothing that we will have all things to enjoy, today.

The more we are conscious of Christ in me, the more we will experience the life of Christ in me. Be at rest for He had bequeathed His shalom to us. Be Christ conscious today, for He is the author and finisher of our faith.
