THE GLORY OF CHRIST.

TOPIC: THE GLORY OF CHRIST.

TEXT: LUKE 9:28-43

KEY VERSE: "As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and the clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. (Vs. 29)

SUMMARY

Eight days after our Lord predicted his death and resurrection, he took his disciples up onto a mountain where his glory was revealed to them. His face and clothes radiated with glory like lightning. Moses and Elijah appeared and they were surrounded by a cloud of Shekinah glory. The voice of God declared, "This is my Son whom I have chosen: listen to him." The glory of Christ motivates us to listen to his promises of eternal life and to live in eager expectation of his second coming in power and glory. The glory and majesty of Christ shines over all the darkness and problems of this world as he healed the demon possessed son brought to him by his desperate father.

APPLICATION

To truly experience the glory of God in this dark world, we must make out time for our personal fellowship with God in study of his word and in prayers because that is how our eyes can be open to see the glory of Christ and this will birth hope in us for his imminent return.

PRAYER: Father, open our eyes to see the glory of Christ.
