"They saw no one but Jesus only." I'm going to summarize David Guzik and share some quotes from Charles Spurgeon because they explain this better then I ever could.
"It would be sad to exchange the grace and truth that came by Jesus for the law that came by Moses; but there are those sad ones who see Moses and his law only. It might have been that after the events of the transfiguration, only Elijah remained for the disciples. Theoretically, when the experience was over, there would have been only Elijah. Elijah was a man great for the power of his word and the boldness of his national reforms. Yet all this doesn’t compare to the person and work of Jesus only. It might have been that after the events of the transfiguration, all three remained. At first, this might have seemed to be the best – why not all three? Yet now that Jesus has come, Moses and Elijah can fade into their supportive roles, and never be put on the same level as Jesus." David Guzik
“Though the apostles saw ‘Jesus only,’ they saw quite sufficient, for Jesus is enough for time and eternity, enough to live by and enough to die by…O look to Him, and though it be Jesus only, though Moses should condemn you, and Elias should alarm you, yet ‘Jesus only’ shall be enough to comfort and enough to save you. ‘One is our Master,’ and that one is enough, for we have learned to see the wisdom of God and the power of God in Jesus only. At this day, my brethren, we have no Master but Christ" Charles Spurgeon
Matthew 17:7-8 NKJV
7 But Jesus came and touched them and said, “Arise, and do not be afraid.”
8 When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.
8 When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.
