In this sermon, the preacher discusses the significance of the conversation between Jesus, Moses, and Elijah on the Holy Mount. The three witnesses, Peter, James, and John, not only saw this spectacle but also heard what they were talking about. The common interest among the three is the theme of the Exodus, with Jesus going to accomplish a greater Exodus in Jerusalem. The preacher emphasizes the importance of understanding the true meaning of Jesus' departure, referred to as the Exodus, and highlights Peter's initial resistance to the idea of Jesus suffering and dying.

H.J. Vine emphasizes the importance of being mindful of what we listen to, as God is very jealous of how we use our ears. He highlights how Satan entered man's soul through Eve's ear, leading to man-degrading consequences. Christians are reminded to guard what enters their ears, symbolized by the blood and oil placed on the right ear in the cleansing of the leper and consecration of the priests. Jesus instructs us to be cautious of what and how we hear, emphasizing the significance of listening to His words which bring eternal life and blessings.
