It is amazing the number of
churches, denominations and fellowships who identify with the body of Christ,
yet separate themselves from one another. Peter, James and John witnessed the Transfiguration
when Moses and Elijah appeared talking with Jesus. “Peter and his companions
were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the
two men standing with him. As the men were leaving Jesus,
Peter said to him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three
shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what
he was saying.)” (Luke 9:32-33 NIV). Obviously, since Peter did not know what
he was saying, neither do we. Jesus came to draw all men to Himself, yet Peter
in essence suggested the Son of God share some of His honor and glory with
prophets and patriarchs. The suggestion to put up three shelters has a hint of
putting up three denominations, each with their own religious leader.
