All right, today we start at Luke 9 28 Russell will you read the 28th and 29th verse

00:36

All right here. We have What's commonly known as the transfiguration

00:49

Jesus has taken three three of his followers

00:55

To go into the mountain and they went for the purpose of praying

01:05

Peter John and James And his countenance was altered

01:14

Clearance what's meant by that statement? All right

01:27

Metamorpho on Metamorphosis He Was changed

01:35

Metamorphosis means what? bill Well, it means more than that All right

01:59

It was in there all of the time and just now was seen

02:06

Metamorphosis the transfiguration Now I want you to hear this the transfiguration

02:17

Transfiguration Does not set forth the deity of Christ the

02:28

Transfiguration does not set forth the deity of Christ Well, you say what does it do then

02:41

It sets forth his humanity humility of Jesus Transfiguration is the goal that we are all looking for When we see the

03:01

Lord Jesus the Christ transfigured there on the mountain You're seeing exactly what is going to take place in that day

03:13

When we are translated Jesus The Christ Showed his real self.

03:37

I don't know how to explain it so you can understand But his countenance was changed his

03:46

Clothing was changed. He glowed brilliantly Just as we will

03:59

And behold there talked with him two men

04:07

Which were Moses and Elijah Why these two

04:12

Myron All right

04:28

Jesus filled the office of prophet priest and the king

04:35

There had been prophets and priests Before There had been

04:42

Kings and prophets But he was the first to have all three offices prophet priest and king

04:56

Who appeared in glory and spake of his? decease Which he should accomplish at Jerusalem David what are they talking to him about?

05:12

death on the cross and They that were with him

05:19

Were heavy with sleep And when they were awake they saw his glory and the two men that stood with him

05:28

Now these three went to sleep I wonder in the midst of such a

05:38

Tremendous display Verge why did they go to sleep?

06:00

Myron it looks like I I wouldn't go to sleep if the glory of God was showing would

06:06

I? Well, let's see if we can find out

06:17

And he came to pass as they departed from him Peter said unto

06:22

Jesus master It's good for us to be here Well, it was good

06:31

And let us make three tabernacles One for thee one for Moses one for Elias not knowing what he said

06:41

Well, dear old Peter Leave it up to him To come up with the

06:49

Arminian way of thinking What did he want to do

06:56

David? That's right

07:09

While he thus spake there came a cloud and Overshadowed them and they feared as they entered into the cloud

07:19

And there came a voice out of the cloud saying This is my beloved son

07:26

Hear him now

07:33

While Jesus was talking a Cloud overshadowed them

07:40

And where it says they as they entered into the cloud They didn't move the the cloud came down on them

07:50

And there came a voice out of the cloud

07:58

And it said this this is my beloved son

08:04

Hear him Now I truly believe that this marks the very beginning of the church

08:15

Hear him Don't hear the law anymore you hear him

08:23

And when the voice was passed Jesus was found alone and They kept it close and told no man in those days any of those things

08:36

Which they had seen This entire scene is a picture of today believe it or not

08:47

Jesus is in glory We are here at the foot of the mountain Where there is confusion compromise the world of today acts like a demon -possessed man and I say that almost literally and The church is helpless in the presence of the world's needs

09:16

Thank goodness God is still in control He's told us what will happen and folks that are get worse for it gets better And it came to pass

09:30

That on the next day When they were come down from the hill much people met him and behold a man of The company cried out saying master

09:43

I beseech thee look upon my son for he is mine only child

09:51

And lo a spirit taketh him and he suddenly crieth out and it teareth him that he foameth again and bruising him hardly departing from him and I Besought the disciples to cast him out and they could not

10:13

Well, I have to ask the question why Virge why couldn't the disciples help this poor man?

10:34

Well could be Myron I have to return to you again

10:42

Why you don't know do you

11:13

He said what That very possibly could be it

11:22

Well, Jesus answered and said Oh faithless and perverse generation Russell, what did he mean by that?

11:33

How long shall I be with you that 41st verse and Jesus answered answering saying saying said

11:53

Oh faithless and perverse Generation, how long shall

11:58

I be with you and suffer you? Yes All right

12:43

David what do you think? Yes, why did he why did he call them a perverse generation faithless?

13:27

What do you think Clarence? You what

13:56

All right Yes Yes That's that's exactly right and as he was yet a

15:15

Coming a devil threw him down and tear him now we're talking about the young man coming and Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the child and delivered him again to his father

15:32

Has he not done that with us? and they were all amazed at the mighty power of God, but while they

15:47

Wondered everyone at all things which Jesus did he said unto his disciples

15:54

Let these things sink down into your ears For the Son of Man shall be delivered into the hand of men

16:05

He is mentioning rather Repeatedly now his death

16:13

The words of God will do us no good Unless we also let them sink down into our hearts

16:22

At the same time though They did not understand it The thought had to be in their minds for the

16:30

Holy Spirit to bring it to remembrance Stop there if you will

16:42

They did not understand He's preparing them

16:51

You know, he never mentions his death without mentioning the resurrection
