As you read the following passage from the Gospel of Matthew chapter 17 and verses 1 to 9 take notice of how the disciples reacted as they saw the Son in all His glory and heard the voice of the Father. "And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.  Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.  While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead."  What an experience that must have been! I don't personally know anyone who has seen God in all His glory. I've read about those who say they have but I don't know anyone.

We, who believe in Christ as our Savior (Christians), immediately become a member of the Body of Christ. We are called the Body of Christ and that body should operate as fluidly as a ballerina. Unfortunately we operate more like the teenager that hits a ten-inch growth spurt. We are awkward and gangly. Our coordination hasn't caught up with our size.
