Sometimes Jesus did something with only three of his disciples.
three disciples,
The Transfiguration Event (Matthew 17:1-8)
The healing of Peter's mother-in-law (Mark 1:29)
Healing Jairus' daughter (Mark 5:37)
At the time of the Second Coming question on the Mount of Olives (Mark 13:3,4)

He climbed a high mountain (Mountain of Transfiguration) with the three disciples of Jesus.
There Jesus was transfigured, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light (2).
Besides, I saw Moses and Elijah talking with Jesus.
It was such a beautiful sight, it must have been like seeing heaven.
They climbed the mountain and just wanted to live there.
They want to build three huts and just stay there.
‘Lord, it is good that we are here…’ (4)
But the Lord does not want it, and comes down the mountain again with the disciples.
- It's nice to be here; Satan's Greatest Temptation
The Lord did not want the disciples to remain in place.
When the disciples saw the changed form of Jesus, they had nothing to envy.
After receiving the trust of Jesus and seeing how glorious the transformation was, seeing Moses and Elijah talking to each other, there was nothing to envy any more.
I just liked the place.
But the Lord says that's not all.
Because they have other work to do.

[Good to Great] Beyond a good company to a great company
The good is the enemy of the great, the great and the great.
And that's usually why it's so rare to be great and great.
There are no big and great schools. Most of the time, there are good schools. There is no great and great government. Most of the time there is good government. Very few people live great lives. Because in most cases it is enough to live a good life. Most companies don't become great. That's because most companies are pretty good - and that's their main problem.
This is Satan's greatest temptation.
just to keep it in place.
In the future, we can approach God in a better way and become greater.
Satan says
That's enough, that's enough.
They say that they have had that much Sunday, that they donated that much, that they volunteered that much, that they are doing as much as they can, and that it is good.
Let's look at Satan's temptation of anger.
Satan makes us eat the fruit of the tree of good and evil in the Garden of Eden, which God told us not to eat.
Did he say you must not eat from any tree in the garden?
No, I told you not to eat or touch the tree in the center.
Then that's enough, I ate everything else but I can't eat this much
I have kept it until now, so you can become like God...
Although they can never become like God, they fall into Satan's temptations.
Despite being able to go from good to greater, they cannot resist Satan's temptations.
Do you just like this place right now?
A good life can be, but a great life cannot be.
The Lord comes down the mountain to tell his disciples that it is good to be here, but they must live a greater life.
3 The life of a disciple
Peter - Jesus' chief disciple (Matthew 10:2)
James - the first martyr (Acts 12:1-)
John - The apostle who lived the longest (about 100 years old) and testified of the word (Revelation 1:9)
They lived a great life, not a good life.
Even if there are circumstances and circumstances that prevent us from moving forward, we must overcome them and move forward.
That is what the Lord wants and wants.
- The Red Sea of Life, Typhoon
No one in life is without problems.
Loach and Catfish
Having catfish in a flock of loach is a huge stress, risk, and challenge.
But the group does not die and survives.
Meanwhile, a group of loach without catfish swims freely. Eventually they all die.
Having problems and difficulties in life is the way we can live.
If there were no problems in life and there were no difficulties, the true life would not be interesting.
Rather, it gives you the strength to live.
You will have faith to believe in the Lord.
If the Lord were to worry or worry about us, how would we believe in Him?
Let's say the Lord is troubled in front of the Red Sea of life.
Should we cross this or go back, how can we follow Jesus if we get together and have a meeting?
As they crossed the sea in a boat, they encountered a great typhoon and woke Jesus from sleep.
Why are you waking me up when I'm sleeping well? How to beat a typhoon? If you are worried and worried
That Jesus can be a person who can live a good life, but he cannot be said to have lived a great life.
The Miracle of Five Byeong-Eye - The only event recorded in the four Gospels other than Holy Week.
How do you feed all these people? get some money
The Lord does not care about our worries or anxieties.
Because he has the strength and ability to win.
The Lord has done a great work of parting the Red Sea and calming the typhoon,
We are also talking about living such a life.
A great life that divides the Red Sea of life and calms the typhoons encountered in life.
- Maximize your vision with only the Word of God.
What did Jesus say to his disciples?
“This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; listen to him.”
It was the voice of God.
Then he looked up and saw no one except Jesus.
Hear the word of the Lord and look only to Jesus.
In order to live a greater life, we must be filled with only the Word of God.
David and Goliath.
Did David defeat Goliath?
1 Samuel 17:45-47 David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have insulted. Today the LORD will deliver you into my hand. I will strike you and cut off your head, and I will give the corpses of the Philistine army today to the birds of the air and to the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, and that this group may know that the LORD does not save with sword and spear. The war belongs to the LORD, and he will deliver you into our hands.
Anyone who goes out in the name of Jehovah God can defeat Goliath.
1 Samuel 17:42 The Philistine looked around, and when they saw David, they despised him, for he was young and red and beautiful in appearance.
In spite of being a fragile being,
Even if you have nothing and are humble. Those who have the word of God and go forward in the name of God can have victory.
David's life is not very good.
He is hated by his family, his appearance is small, and he does not lead a smooth life even after becoming a king.
You can't even experience miracles in your life.
But what is he remembered for as a great life?
It was because his life was filled with the words of God that he experienced and enjoyed God's grace. Wherever he went, he considered the Word of God the most important.
As David confessed, Psalm 23:5 You have set a table for me in the sight of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; my cup overflows.
I pray that the overflowing grace of God will come.
