Mark 9:2
Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transfigured before them.
The supernatural experience of the Transfiguration may be the high point for anyone who experienced it. A commentator said that God will never allow us to stay there - that is equally true. Such wonderful experience may be a good faith and confidence booster, but it does not directly benefit anyone else. God will give good things to His children, but He also wants His children to feed His sheep. So God may empower us from time to time, but we are to live mostly through the natural world, with all its flaws, and bring the Good News to others.
