While he was still speaking, a cloud came and cast a shadow over them, and they became frightened when they entered the cloud. Then from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my chosen Son; listen to him.” After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They fell silent and did not at that time tell anyone what they had seen.
Luke 9:32
As Peter was speaking, a cloud came. The cloud represented the presence of the Holy Spirit. Then the voice of God the Father said, “This is my chosen Son; listen to him.” In this moment, even more about Jesus was revealed. Jesus is God’s Son and the apostles should listen to him. Then in an instant it was all gone. The apostles got a glimpse of Jesus’ true self and then the vision ended. The apostles didn’t tell anyone what they had seen.
A big part of being a close friend in faith is that we don’t share what we have seen in others. When someone shares with us their struggles or problems, we keep them in confidence. When someone shares their heart, we honor them by keeping what we know about them to ourselves.
Who are the people who trust you with their hearts? Pray for them and thank God that they trust you. Pray that you would honor that trust.
