Luke 9:30-32 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:… When we read of the reappearance of Moses and Elias after their long absence, our first feeling is that of wonder; it is to us a miracle, a strange thing, for the dead do not return. But why view it thus? The wonder is, not that Moses and Elias were seen in the holy Mount, but that the separation between us and the blessed dead should be so complete. Their long unbroken silence is the strange thing when you .think of it. We long to know more of them and of the world in which they dwell. We know from this narrative — 1. That human spirits are not annihilated when they disappear from this world. 2. That human spirits have a personal existence after death. 3. We see in Moses and Elias what all faithful souls shall be, when the great redemption is completed — as like unto God as possible. (Thomas Jones.)
