Matthew 17 verses 1-8 shows Jesus glorified before

His disciples, Peter, James and John.

They see and hear Moses and Elijah talking with Him.

Dr. Mitchell discussed the doctrine, the test, and the time of the transfiguration. He now shares with us the theme of the transfiguration.

These 8 verse speak of the transfiguration of our Lord Jesus with 3 of His disciples observing His glory.

Both Moses and Elijah was seen by them talking with Jesus. As Luke tells us, they were speaking with Jesus about His soon departure, His exodus, that is, His death, burial and resurrection before ascending back to heaven.

Dr. Mitchell turns to prophecy. He explains in detail God's plan throughout the ages of time with its certain and distinct responsibilities for man .

Peter was one of the Lord's disciples who saw

Christ in His glory just as Jesus had said they would.

Dr. Mitchell speaks of 2nd Peter 1:16-19 written by the Apostle Peter about this experience.

Next, Dr. Mitchell gives us an overview of the

lives of Moses and Elijah who appeared with Jesus.

He shares the truth found in this passage relating it to the believer in Christ.

on through to chapter 17 verse 8.

to His disciples that "...there are some of those

standing here who will never experience death until

they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom."

the gospels always refers to Christ coming to the

earth. This is different than the coming of the

Lord from heaven for the church in the air. 

Dr. Mitchell speaks of putting Jesus first and ourselves last.

What will it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? What will a man give in exchange for his soul?

For the first time in the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus announces His program declaring that He must go to Jerusalem and be killed and be raised again on the third day. Do you face opposition when sharing your testimony of faith in Jesus?

Dr. Mitchell shares with us Jesus the Christ as He faces opposition from a close disciple.

Dr. Mitchell states that the Christian needs to know the Word of God so as to understand the current time in God's program for His people.

Dr. Mitchell's exposition of these verses

shows us Jesus, the Christ the Son of

the Living God, upon whom God would

build His church against which the

gates of hades would not prevail.

Dr. Mitchell shares Jesus Christ

as revealed to Peter by God the Father,

Jesus is the Christ the Son of the

Living God. This God and His revelation

is the rock on which

Jesus would build His church.
