Mark 9:2-13 - Jesus Unveiled

There are some memories which never leave you, whether good, bad, or... holy? As we continue forward into the second half of Mark's gospel, we come across what is a somewhat confusing but rather significant moment and scene in the life of the disciples. After being confronted on their lack of perception, some of Jesus' closest followers are graciously permitted to behold him in his fullness, even if just for a moment, being given a sneak peek into his glory, his divinity, and his holiness.

They recognize Jesus as someone far greater than they could've ever dreamed, and as one to whom all of scripture was pointing all along. How this could be, they don't exactly know. How it looks moving forward, they aren't sure... but they do know one thing - they must continue to follow Him as the Son of God and Savior of man, all the while, trusting that what He says is true.

We are urged to do the same in response to Mark's testimony of this sacred moment.
