Luke 9:28-29 (4/11/19)
* Matthew and Luke give us different angles of the same story.
* Jesus was at the gates of hell (Ceasarea Philippi) and asks the disciples who He is and who others say He is to show the contrast.
* Then He tells them He’s going to die, and they are going to have to do the same.
* And if they refuse to stand for Him He won’t stand for them.
* vs 28-29 - 8 days later….He takes the three up the mountain to be transfigured.
* 8 days is the time babies get circumcised.
* That was the outward sign of an inward covenant with God.
* Circumcision was unseen. Only within the context of intimacy was it to be seen.
* Jesus had an unseen aspect to Him as well, but He showed His glory to these men.
* These men needed to “see” Jesus for Who He truly was, to have that intimate connection.
* Oswald Chambers - "Being saved and seeing Jesus are not the same thing. Many are partakers of God's grace who have never seen Jesus. When once you have seen Jesus, you can never be the same, other things do not appeal as they used to do.”
