And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves. (Mark 9:8)
What a dark night it would have been if our Lord and Master had been caught up with Moses and Elijah, and no Christ had died for our sins. Oh, how Jesus Christ has lit up this world! But suppose that He had gone up to heaven on the other side of Calvary, and had never finished His work.
Suppose that God in His love for His Son had said: “I can’t let those men spit upon you and smite you; I will take you back to My bosom.” What darkness would have settled down on this world! But Moses disappeared, and Elijah disappeared, and Christ only was left, for Christ is all. The law and the prophets were honored and fulfilled in Him.
