Imagine being the disciples. If we're to believe the stories in the gospels are true, this one really gets me! Matthew Chapter 17. Jesus takes them up on a mountain. Keeping in mind these guys were just regular guys going about their daily life when they met Jesus. So now they're on the top of this mountain and Moses and Elijah show up! Then God speaks from a cloud (with, I imagine, a thundering voice)! That's crazy business! I'd be on my face, too.
Biblical times were so much more radical that what we have going on today. Things like that never happen in our day. Why is that?
