A Glimpse of His Glory

Observations

• Jesus gives us glimpses of His glory to prepare us for seasons of suffering (9:27-28).
• Jesus’ glory does not come and go; our awareness of it does (9:29).
• What the Law and the Prophets foretold, Jesus came to fulfill (9:30-31).
• How tragic to be awake to our physical wants and asleep to our spiritual needs (9:32).
• Don’t treasure an experience with Jesus more than Jesus Himself (9:33).
• The glory that captures our attention should command our obedience (9:34-35).
• The same Jesus who meets us on the mountain walks with us through the valley (9:36).

Applications

• The One at the center of God’s story deserves more than a supporting role in yours.
• Pray with the expectation that Jesus can interrupt the familiar with something unforgettable.
• Don’t become so dependent on extraordinary experiences that you neglect everyday obedience.
