Transfiguration
Context
Jesus had converstaion...
about his death.
Previous chapter:
Matthew 16:21–23 (ESV)
From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.
--
And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord!
This shall never happen to you.”
--
But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan!
You are a hindrance to me.
For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”
Same in Mark
Previous Chapter...
Now we know
what was on their mind
as they climbed in darkness...
discouragement...

The Climb
Jesus
worked all day
Disciples were tired.
Jesus tired.
Struggle with faith.
Why climb?
Luke answers:
Apparently,
not uncommon.
Familiar with
long walks
lonely walks
desolate walks
night walks
for prayer.
Backpacking
long days
quiet at end...
want to be done.
What disciples thinking?
Why are we here?
Where are we going?
Metaphorically...
Is Jesus really the Messiah?
Why are we in the wilderness?
We should be in Jerusalem...
Proclaiming Him king!
This seems wrong...
Yet,
they walked
lonely
dark
physically
emotionally.
Finally stop.
Jesus prays.
Disciple try to join
At first the disciples unite their prayers with His in sincere devotion; but after a time they are overcome with weariness, and, even while trying to retain their interest in the scene, they fall asleep.
Want to stay awake
want to pray
but can’t keep eyes open.
Jesus prays
for hours
and hours.
Stepping a little aside from them, the Man of Sorrows pours out His supplications with strong crying and tears.
He prays for strength to endure the test in behalf of humanity.
He must Himself gain a fresh hold on Omnipotence, for only thus can He contemplate the future.
And He pours out His heart longings for His disciples, that in the hour of the power of darkness their faith may not fail.
The dew is heavy upon His bowed form, but He heeds it not.
The shadows of night gather thickly about Him, but He regards not their gloom.
So the hours pass slowly by.
The scene is dark
physically
emotionally.
Crying out to God
