Glory on the Mountain | Luke

Glory on the Mountain
Scripture: Luke 9:28-36
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 9:28-36, 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.”
