Title: Nothing Is Impossible With Jesus! (22)
Series: The Gospel of Mark-A Journey with Jesus
Author: Jim Perdue
Text: Mark 9:14-29
-We are studying the Gospel of Mark on Sunday mornings in a sermon series called, A Journey With Jesus. Here's one thing I want you to understand about Mark's Gospel. It divides neatly into two major sections. Chapters 1-8, the first section, answer the question, "Who Is Jesus?" This section ends with a bold proclamation that Jesus is indeed the Messiah who has come to bring salvation to the world. Chapters 9-16, the second section, answer the question, "What does it look like to follow Jesus?" And these are two questions that everyone must answer at one point or another.
-Last Sunday, we were on the mountaintop. Jesus took His three closest disciples, Peter, James, and John, on top of a mountain and was "transfigured" before them. There, He pulled back the veil of His humanity and revealed His deity. But remember, the mountaintop is supposed to lead us to the mission field. As they come down from the mountain, there is ministry that must take place. READ TEXT
-*In the Vatican Gallery hangs Raphael's last painting, which some think to be his greatest. It is entitled, The Transfiguration. The uppermost part pictures the transfigured form of Jesus, with Moses on the left and Elijah on his right. On the next level down are the three disciples, Peter, James, and John, recently awakened and shielding their eyes from Jesus' blinding brilliance. Then, on the ground level is a poor demon-possessed boy, his mouth hideously gaping with wild ravings. At his side is his desperate father. Surrounding them are the rest of the disciples, some of whom are pointing upward to the glowing figure of Christ-who will be the boy's only answer. Raphael has brilliantly captured something of the overwhelming contrast between the glorious Mount of Transfiguration and the troubled world waiting below.*
