The Overshadowing Cloud
Luke 9:33
And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here…


Think of the cloud as a symbol —

I. OF THE MYSTERIES OF REVELATION AND OF HUMAN LIFE.

II. OF THE SORROW THAT OFTEN VEILS THE PURPOSES OF GOD'S LOVE, AND YET IS THE KEY TO THE SECRET RICHES OF THAT LOVE. III.. OF DEATH — THE VEIL THAT HANGS BETWEEN US AND THE GREAT HEREAFTER.

(J. Waite, B. A.)
