Mountain Top Experience

God’s Story:
My Son’s disciples have seen him do amazing things. They have heard him teach, and one of them, Peter, has openly stated who Jesus really is. They believe, but they still have some doubts. So I will show my Son’s glory and declare my love for him right in front of them. Jesus is greater than Moses and Elijah — he is the Messiah prophesied about so long ago.

Read Mark 9:2-13

Your Story:
What’s the most spectacular sight you have ever witnessed? Did it dazzle you? Leave you mesmerized and speechless? Did it give you chills? The “special effects” on the mountain where Jesus’ transfiguration occurred, far exceeded anything you have witnessed. And then, Jesus stood there chatting with Moses and Elijah! The disciples had reason to be doubtful since they did not know the extent of the events that were yet to transpire. They needed reassurance. You, however, know God’s plan because it’s recorded in the Bible. You can shield against unbelief by delving into God’s Word and studying the far-reaching significance of Jesus’ death, resurrection and ascension.
