The Transfiguration Luke - 9:28-36 - Assurance before Trails

The transfiguration of Jesus in the presence of His three disciples Peter, James, and John, was a very special event to prepare them for Jesus' future suffering on the cross.  God will give us confirmation and assurance to equip us to do important things for ourselves and Him. When they have any doubt, they can always remember this very special event.  What was the special experience you had with Jesus?


Lessons:

    Jesus gave his 3 disciples a special experience to reaffirm His identity and preparing them for His suffering on a cross. What undisputable evidence do we have for assurance when we have doubts about our faith?

    The transfiguration and meeting with Moses and Elijah confirmed Jesus' identity as Son of God as proclaimed by His Father.

    The disciples were not aware of the need and power of prayer - they slept while Jesus prayed.

    Are we sleeping in an urgent time? Should we be praying?

    We are to listen to Jesus' messages and instructions.

    We need to think first before we speak. See Thinking before Action
