February 11, 2018 LIFE LESSONS FROM MARK MARK 9:2-13 GO REST HIGH ON THAT MOUNTAIN After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. 3 His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. 4 And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus. 5 Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” 6 (He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.) 7 Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!” 8 Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus. 9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 They kept the matter to themselves, discussing what “rising from the dead” meant. 11 And they asked him, “Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?” 12 Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah does come first, and restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer much and be rejected? 13 But I tell you, Elijah has come, and they have done to him everything they wished, just as it is written about him.” - We are tempted to settle for UNINSPIRED Christian forms instead of life with Jesus. - The transfiguration REFUTES any notion that Jesus was just a good man, or a good teacher, or even a prophet. Jesus is the Son of God. We see a glimpse of his glory! And hear God’s voice! - This was a LIFE ALTERING moment for Peter, James and John. 16-17We were not following a cleverly written-up story when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ—we actually saw his majesty with our own eyes. He received honor and glory from God the Father himself when that voice said to him, out of the sublime glory of Heaven, ‘This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased’. 18-19 We actually heard that voice speaking from Heaven while we were with him on the sacred mountain. The word of prophecy was fulfilled in our hearing! You should give that word your closest attention, for it shines like a lamp amidst all the dirt and darkness of the world, until the day dawns, and the morning star rises in your hearts. 2 Peter 1:16-19 (Phillips) - God invites us into our own DEFINING moment as a lead-in to our transformation. (What are the defining moments in your life?) - So, what will it take for me to “Go rest high on that mountain?” What will it take for you?

Ta nismo vam navijestili snagu i dolazak Gospodina našega Isusa Krista slijedeći izmudrene priče, nego kao očevici njegova veličanstva. Od Oca je doista primio čast i slavu kad mu ono od uzvišene Slave doprije ovaj glas: Ovo je Sin moj, Ljubljeni moj, u njemu mi sva milina! Taj glas, koji s neba dopiraše, čusmo mi koji bijasmo s njime na Svetoj gori. Tako nam je potvrđena proročka riječ te dobro činite što uza nju prianjate kao uza svjetiljku što svijetli na mrklu mjestu – dok Dan ne osvane i Danica se ne pomoli u srcima vašim. Gospodin kraljuje: neka kliče zemlja, nek’ se vesele otoci mnogi! Oblak i tama ovijaju njega, Pravda i pravo temelji su prijestolja njegova. Brda se tope pred Gospodinom k’o vosak, pred vladarom zemlje sve. Nebesa navješćuju pravednost njegovu, svi narodi gledaju mu slavu. Jer ti si, o Gospodine, Svevišnji – nad svom zemljom, visoko, visoko nad bozima svima. Nakon šest dana uze Isus sa sobom Petra, Jakova i Ivana i povede ih na goru visoku, u osamu, same, i preobrazi se pred njima. I haljine mu postadoše sjajne, bijele veoma – nijedan ih bjelilac na zemlji ne bi mogao tako izbijeliti. I ukaza im se Ilija s Mojsijem te razgovarahu s Isusom. A Petar prihvati i reče Isusu: »Učitelju, dobro nam je ovdje biti! Načinimo tri sjenice: tebi jednu, Mojsiju jednu i Iliji jednu.« Doista nije znao što da kaže jer bijahu prestrašeni. I pojavi se oblak i zasjeni ih, a iz oblaka se začu glas: »Ovo je Sin moj, Ljubljeni! Slušajte ga!« I odjednom, obazrevši se uokolo, nikoga uza se ne vidješe doli Isusa sama. Dok su silazili s gore, naloži im da nikomu ne pripovijedaju što su vidjeli dok Sin Čovječji od mrtvih ne ustane. Oni održaše tu riječ, ali se među sobom pitahu što znači to njegovo »od mrtvih ustati« Komentar Isus uzima trojicu apostola koji su bili svjedoci Njegova preobraženja. Zašto baš ovu trojicu,Sigurno je postojao veliki razlog u to ne treba sumnjati. Nepoznanice nema kasnije kada su ta trojica apostola bila vodeća među ostalim apostolima. Može se reći mnogo im je dano, mnogo se od njih očekivalo, i može se reći da su ispunili očekivanja. Nastavak Evanđelja donosi nam razgovor Mojsija, proroka Ilije i Isusa. Kad pogledamo zašto baš oni. Po Mojsiju nam je dan Zakon na brdu Sion, Ilija veliki prorok, možda predstavnik svih proroka, koji na neki način povezuje Zakon i ono što će se tek desiti kasnije a to je spasenje po Isusu. Ne trebamo više ništa tražiti dobili smo sve što nam je potrebno za pobožni život i za spasenje i za vječni život sa Kristom. Sve nam je dano, ne treba nam ništa manje, ni ništa više. Isuse daj da svojim govorom, svojim ponašanjem, svojim djelima pokažem da sam dostojan da Ti budeš u meni i ja u Tebi, da budem dostojan i ponosan što Te nosim u svojem srcu, da budem dostojan da se moje oči zaslijepe kad ugledam tvoje sjajne i bijele haljine. Amen
