Glory on the Mountain
Scripture: Luke 9:2836
Speaker: Pastor Philip Miller

“Veiled in flesh the Godhead see, Hail th’ incarnate Deity!
Pleased as man with man to dwell, Jesus our Immanuel.”
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing Charles Wesley

In the incarnation, Jesus is God incognito. He is undercover, veiled, and among us in secret. Until Luke 9:2836, when the veil is lifted and His glory is revealed.

1) The Glory
Jesus is Gloriously Transfigured
o Moses and Elijah appear on the mountain and see Jesus for who he really is.

2) The Tents
The Kingdom is Gloriously Tangible
o Peter asks to put up tents for Moses, Elijah, and Jesus.
o But he had forgotten that Jesus’ path to the crown must first pass through the cross.

3) The Cloud
The Father Gloriously Testifies
o “This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him!”
o Peter followed Jesus through the cross to the crown!

Takeaway: Jesus is our Transfiguring Glory
You will be glorious in Christ!

C. S. Lewis once preached a sermon called “The Weight of Glory:"
“...There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilization—these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit—immortal horrors or everlasting splendors.”
