Peter takes a moment to look back. His looking back takes him to the time he looked up and was changed. He was changed when he saw Jesus’ radiance and heard a voice that comforted and challenged him. Peter was an “eyewitness to God’s majesty.” Like Peter, we are also eyewitnesses of God’s majesty. Majesty is just a fancy way to say major-ness as in God is greater, finer, foremost and supreme. We would do well to be attentive to this major-ness, like those who “see a light in the dark,” Peter says. God’s major-ness isn’t only on vivid display in nature, God’s major-ness is on display in the peace we experience that is beyond understanding. It’s on display in our God-inspired endurance, purpose, forgiveness and joy. Recognizing and enveloping yourself in God’s major-ness puts everything else in life in its proper place. What part of God’s major-ness are you an eyewitness to?
