A Glimpse of Glory - The Gospel According to Mark: Following Jesus (Ch 9:1-13)

God's word reminds us that pain, suffering, hardships we experience in this world are not the end of the story. Such things as like the pains of childbirth, that will eventually lead to a glorious life to be revealed (Romans 8:22). But how can we know?  Jesus' disciples were likely asking the same question when he began to tell them about his suffering and death. In order to encourage their hearts and strengthen their faith, God gives them a glimpse of glory as Jesus is transformed in glory for a moment on a mountaintop. Here we're given a glimpse of Jesus' (and our) future glory to encourage our souls.
