Good teachers give their students a vision of the goal, this keeps their student’s eyes on the prize as they do the hard work needed for achievement of the mission.
Jesus, in the transfiguration, gave Peter, James and John a glimpse of the glory of heaven. However, just prior to the transfiguration Jesus instructs his disciples of the hard work they must do to achieve the goal, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.”(Mark 8:34) The Father then, during the transfiguration, gives the disciples good advice, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.” (Mark 9:7)
What glimpses of God’s glory have you had that assist you in taking up your cross and following Jesus?
