If only we could stay!

We capture moments don't we? Itʼs the moment she said, "I do" or itʼs the moment the doctor said "itʼs a girl/boy!" the moment in time that you captured the first steps of your child, the joy of a graduation, the first relationship, the once in a lifetime family reunion or the perfect holiday photo you took that you loved so much - you just had to blow it up and capture the moment in a frame to remember. If only we could stay in those moments! If only life could just stop so we could continue to hang out there. If only we could stay! Peter, James and John said that same thing, as they stood absolutely gob-smacked and dazzled at what they had just witnessed. They wanted to stay on that mountain with Jesus. But they couldn't! Jesus couldn't stay on that mountain either. The journey was just beginning. And so today I want to journey with you to that mountain with Jesus and those first disciples to see a preview of glory. We may just find ourselves saying, "If we only could stay!"
