Title: The Lord of Glory / John 9:28
Contents
[Introduction]
House of Parliamentarians (bribes, outsourcing), parents of professors (dishonest entrance exams) = Portraits
Medical personnel dispatched to Saudi Arabia = We send in tears. Heavy expressions.
That must have been the mood of the disciples of Jesus now.
"I must go to die"
In such an atmosphere, the incident of today's text suddenly occurred.
It was indeed an incident.
What happened six days later. Mount Tabor in the southwest of the Sea of Galilee, or in the northeast
It must have been Mount Hermon. What happened at the top of a secluded, high mountain
It was a change in the appearance of Jesus.
change =trans+figuration
No matter how dazzling you are - verse 3
How surprised I was --------6
How good it was --------5 verses/let's live here
Seeing the glorious transformation of the master who said he had to go to die
Glory = Cabedd = heavy. money bag full. a barrel full of oil,
A head full of knowledge and wisdom, a name full of honor--richness
The word glory belongs only to God/Lord of heaven and earth, an honorable name,
The One who lacks nothing in strength and wisdom---the One who abounds in all the earth and in heaven.
Who would stand in front of him in comparison?----Napleon? The Roman Emperor Caesar?
The wise Astotle? Religion Shakyamuni? ghosts? Satan?
Neither man nor demon can compare with God, for he is the Lord of glory.
How dazzling must the disciples have been when they saw such an image of God?
How surprised would you be? How good would it be?
Two Characters/Moses and Elijah
1. Moses/The one who delivered the Law, the one who liberated Israel.
1500 years before Jesus came
God had promised to free Israel from Pharaoh's army and oppression.
Leader .
Law = How holy is God, and for man to become the people of the kingdom of God.
How much effort you have to put in--the end result is judgment and condemnation--Salvation by human strength
Since we cannot receive it, we need God's unconditional forgiveness and grace.
Jesus Christ!
The death of Moses = the form of death waiting for Joshua (the servant)/promise, the fulfillment of salvation
Joshua = Jesus
Now he appears on the Mount of Transfiguration and rejoices in meeting Jesus.
2. During the 25 years of Elijah/Ahab and Ahaziah, the worst kings of Israel
Prophet who was active and expelled the idols of Baal
The Man of Fire / Victory in the 850:1 battle on Mount Carmel / It was a battle between Baal and God
So it's a natural result
Ascension into a chariot of fire-----It was a glorious end.
Elijah's mission----Proof that God is the true God and God of glory.
3 and a half years, Mount Carmel, death, etc.-----/
The Old Testament refers to these two people by their names = Moses and Elijah.
These two appear here on the Mount of Transfiguration, because Jesus, the son of a poor carpenter, is the Old Testament.
The savior God who prophesied and waited for them, Israel, and all mankind
Proof that he is a son.
What did the three of them say---Luke 9:31 / that he would die = escape, exodus
Salvation, liberation, completion of the kingdom of the living God/Moses and Elijah accomplished and testified
The things I did--I talked about what would be completed by the death of Jesus on the cross.
After some time, the disciples were caught and crucified just as Jesus had said.
I saw that he was running, and he rose from the dead on the third day, and today, on Mt.
I saw a changed figure as well as a changed body.
[conclusion]
Today, the Jesus whom Yugi serves is hung on the cross, naked and naked, and shed blood.
It is Jesus who weeps. He is the Lord who is ridiculed, persecuted, and despised.
We will follow him now. But because of believing in Jesus, I never
Is there no time for loss, shame and persecution? Then now we follow
Jesus is not the one the Bible testifies to. It is false.
The Jesus we follow now is the Jesus who bore the cross.
But we have a promise.
It is the promise of change. The Jesus we follow now is the Lord of Glory.
will be. No, he is already glorified. After a while, we will change too
and will see the Lord of Glory.
Even in the midst of any difficulties or doubts, if you follow Jesus well, like these disciples
You will meet the Lord of Glory in joy, and not one will miss it.
I pray in the name of the Lord that there will be none.
