MARK 9:2-8 (The Message)2-4 Six days later, three of them did see it.

Jesus took Peter, James, and John and ledthem up a high mountain. His appearance

changed from the inside out, right before

their eyes. His clothes shimmered,glistening white, whiter than any bleach

could make them. Elijah, along with Moses,

came into view, in deep conversation with

Jesus. 5-6 Peter interrupted, Rabbi, this is a

great moment! Lets build three

memorialsone for you, one for Moses,

one for Elijah.

He blurted this out without thinking, stunned

as they all were by what they were seeing.7

Just then a light-radiant cloud envelopedthem, and from deep in the cloud, a voice:

This is my Son, marked by my love. Listen

to him. 8 The next minute the disciples

were looking around, rubbing their eyes,

seeing nothing but Jesus, only Jesus.

FROM GLORY

TO MOVEMENTDo You KNOW that

the LORD JESUSDEMONSTRATED

MANY MIRACLES,

proving and

pointing to His Divinity?

Revealing to us that HE IS GOD?

YET the most convincing of all is the

TRANSFIGURATION!


6/20

Yes, Jesus is GOD![ The 2nd Person of the Trinity ]

TRANSFIGURED vs MASQUERADE

in order to go straight along a path, one must

have some knowledge of the end of the road

(as an archer will not the arrow unless he first

see the target) - bor rowed.

Since Christ had encouraged his disciples to

follow the path of his suffering, he then

revealed to them

the GLORYwhich would follow upon

this suffering.

It takes faith to accept and practice this lessonon discipleship, so six days later, the Lord

gave a dazzling proof that God indeed does

transform suffering into glory.


8/20

Jesus revealed His glory.

The message was clear: first the suffering,

then the glory.

Moses represented

the Law and Elijahthe Prophets, both of

which find their fulfillment

in Jesus Christ(Luke 24:25-27; Hebrews 1:1-2).


9/20

Moses had died and his body was buried, but

Elijah had been raptured to heaven

(2 Kings 2:11).

When Jesus returns,

He will raise the bodiesof the saints who died

and will rapture the

living saints (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).

Jesus will one day establish His glorious

kingdom and fulfill the many promises made

through the prophets.


10/20

Christs sufferings and death would not

prevent God from establishing His kingdom;

rather,

by SOLVINGthe sin problem in Gods

world, the cross would

help to make the kingdom

possible.


11/20

The word transfigured describes a change on

the outside that comes from the inside.

It is the opposite of

masquerade, which is

an outward change thatdoes not come from within.

Jesus allowed His glory to radiate through Hiswhole being, and the mountaintop became a

holy of holies!


12/20

As you meditate on this event, keep in mind

that He has shared this glory with us and

promised us a glorioushome forever

(John 17:22-24).

According to

Romans 12:1-2 and

2 Corinthians 3:18, believers today canexperience this same transfiguration glory.

"A man was asked by a pastor to come to

church for 4 Sundays, He was a skeptic but

the pastor thought if he, would come maybehe would be convinced to accept Christ. At the

end of the fourth Sunday, the man approached

the pastor and said, "I have given my life toJesus Christ."


14/20

The pastor was pleased and said,

"Tell me about it?"

The man looked at the pastor and said, ""Well,

Pastor it wasnt your preaching. The man

paused for a moment. He went an, "On thethird Sunday morning, I saw an elderly lady fall

down on the icy roar. I stopped to help her and

I saw the radiance on her face, even in themidst of such difficulty.


15/20

So I asked her what gave her life such a

radiant glow and she said simply, If you knew

my Lord Jesus Christ and felt his love in yourlife, you would have the same look of radiance

on your face.

"I became a Christian," the man said,

"because of the glow on that womans face

was like a light shining into the darknessof my soul."


16/20

How wonderful it is to stay on the mountain

and bask in His glory!

But discipleship means

denying self, taking up

a cross, and following Him;and you cannot do that

and selfishly stay on the

mount of glory.

There are needs to be met in the valley below.


17/20

The Father interrupted Peters speech and

focused their attention, not on the vision,

but on the WORD ofGod: Hear Him!

The memory of visionswill fade, but the

unchanging Word abides

forever.

Peter hinted that we need to behold the 3. No!

It should be Jesus onlyHis Word, His Will,

His Kingdom, and His Glory.


18/20

This Vision the 3 had would make them say:

HANG ON ALWAYS, for the BEST IS YET TO

COME to the rest ofthe 9 who were not there,

when suffering WOULD

strike!


19/20

MAIN POINT:

Seeing His GLORY leads us to being a

MOVEMENT for HIM!

to the depth of our

beholding[and listening to]

of JESUS will be the

breadth of our going for Him DISCIPLES SECRET!
