Jesus gathers a small group to follow him up a mountain, where he hangs out with some famous people. Its all going splendid until God appears (through a cloud) and commands the disciples to listen to Jesus. In one breath, Jesus's identity is transformed from a cool guy with some wild skills and ideas to the Son of God. As in, everything he has been saying is directly from God. No wonder the disciples are terrified. No wonder we often find ways to ignore Jesus, too. #sermon #transfiguration #listen #GodsWord #takeupthecross
