Jesus in his glory
Jesus promised some disciples will see the kingdom of God before they die, followed by the Transfiguration where Jesus’s appearance changes, and He is seen with Moses and Elijah. God affirms Jesus’s identity. After this, Jesus heals a boy with an evil spirit, discusses His upcoming betrayal, and teaches about humility and service. The chapter ends with lessons on avoiding sin and the value of everyone in God’s kingdom.
This chapter focuses on the revelation of Jesus’s divine nature, the call to faith and humility, and the cost of discipleship, culminating in the understanding of Jesus as the beloved Son to whom one should listen.
