Day 20- The Transfiguration of Christ
Day 20- The Transfiguration of Christ
Jesus plainly foretells His death to His disciples and they just can't grasp what He is saying to them. What's this talk about suffering and death and being raised up on the third day? They have seen Him raise the dead, walk on water, and feed thousands with a sack lunch. He is bringing the Kingdom of God to earth. He has shown He can do anything. He is God. Why all this talk about death? Peter pulls Jesus aside and reprimands Him for this nonsense talk. Jesus rebukes Peter for listening to the lies of Satan. Later Jesus takes Peter, James and John up to a mountain and His body changes before them. They see his Glory shine from Him and hear the Voice of God the Father. They fall to the ground in awe and wonder.
