That would be fantastic.

But it's hard for me to choose between the resurrection and the transfiguration.

To see that bursting forth of the glory of Christ through the veil of His humanity where His countenance was changed, that would have been incredible.

And the disciples never did get over that.

They kept talking about, we beheld His glory.

But one of the ones that I really savor, one of the ones I just, my imagination runs wild with me, and it's because I've been over there.

And I remember the time we went to Bethlehem, and we went to the church there of the nativity and so on.

And they were going through all of the spiel inside the church and all of that and the guided tour.

And I was not really turned on by that.

And I left the company.

of those who were going through the tour and walked out by myself out to the edge of the church, and they had this little stone, primitive stone wall.

And I went out and sat on that stone wall, and it looks out onto this vast, flat plain that were the fields of Bethlehem, and I just let my imagination run wild.

I sat there and I said, imagine that night of pitch dark.

A little campfire maybe bursting through the darkness.

These peasants sitting around there trying to keep warm, trying to watch over their flocks, and all heaven breaks loose with the glory of God shining round about as the heavenly hosts begin to sing of the birth of Christ.

If I would have seen that, I would have said like Simeon, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace.

I've seen all I ever need to see.

That is fantastic.

But the angels are present in the moments not only of the suffering of Christ, but in His glory.

They attend Him in the manifestation of His glory and of His exaltation.
