This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved. Listen to him.—Matt. 17:5.

 

After the Passover of 32 C.E., the apostles Peter, James, and John witnessed an amazing vision. On a lofty mountain, possibly a spur of Mount Hermon, Jesus was transfigured before them. “His face shone as the sun, and his outer garments became brilliant as the light.” (Matt. 17:1-4) The apostles heard God say: “This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved. Listen to him.” The three apostles proved by their life course that they did listen to Jesus. We want to imitate their example. How grateful we are that Jehovah provides us with loving direction through the “head of the congregation,” Jesus Christ! (Eph. 5:23) May we be determined to “listen to him,” as were the apostles Peter, James, and John. By doing so, we will receive many blessings now and unending happiness in the future. w21.12 22 ¶1; 27 ¶19

As Moses told the Israelites, we choose life by loving Jehovah our “God, by listening to his voice and by sticking to him,” for he is our life and the length of our days.—Rom. 6:23; Deut. 30:19, 20.
