S10E35: A New Vision (All Things New pt. 8)

Sermon #537

In the conclusion to our "All Things New" series, we are taken with Peter, James, and John up a high mountain to see a new vision of God.  Here Jesus has been walking with the disciples, and although Peter had declared just six days prior that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God, the disciples may have still had some confusion over who this Jesus was in their midst.  And so they see him transfigured in all his resplendant glory for the first time.  It was an event so earth-shattering that all three of the Synoptic Gospels record the events in perfect detail, and both Peter and John refer to it in their writings as well.  What can we know about Christ in this new vision?  That he is no mere man but that he is the second person of the Trinity - Jesus is God.
