“ Great Sermon! ” There is a lot to be learned from these verses of Scripture. I didn't think the cloud had any significance, I thought it was just a cloud. I never though about why it was Moses and Elijah who appeared but that is an excellent question, I love the answer! Law and prophets, a picture of the entire Old Testament.

The people were amazed, the Lord was glorified, how wonderful. There are so many good things I've learned from this sermon.
