A Glorious Light
“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great Light; those who
dwelt in the land of intense darkness and the shadow of death, upon them has the
Light shined.”
Isaiah 9:2 Amp
A supernova is a stellar explosion that creates an extremely luminous
object which can radiate as much energy as the Sun.
One day Jesus is going to return as that ‘Great Light’ and will reign
forever as a light unto His believers.
Read:
Matthew 17:1-8 Mark
9:2-8; Luke 9:28-36
I.
v1-3 Who Was There
Peter, James and
John: Three of the first disciples
to follow Jesus
*
all three suffered great persecution resulting in death
Moses and Elijah:
symbolizing the law and the prophets
*
Moses taught the law of God and
sacrifice for sin’s atonement
*
Jesus, of course, was the spotless Lamb sent by God for man’s sin
*
Elijah said “you are the
fulfillment of all the prophets said”
i.e.
Malachi said Jesus would be born in Bethlehem
Isaiah
said Jesus would be born of a virgin
Jacob
said Jesus would come from the tribe of Judah
Isaiah
said Jesus would be rejected by His own people-
and
would stand silent before His accusers
Zechariah;
Jesus would be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver
2Peter
1:16-19 the day star is the bright
and morning star
Isaiah
60:19,20 refers to John’s
Revelation 21:1-4,23
II. v4-8
What It
Meant we
too must be transformed
Romans
12:2 (1)
spiritual renewal is paramount
*
God wants to do the same with our life-
*
to change your life on the inside so it will radiate on the outside
*
spirituality can not be forced from the outside in
2
Corinthians 3:18 by seeing the
Glorious Son of God, and being transformed within, we can radiate His image
through our lives
John
1:14 John never forgot this life
changing experience
1 John 3:1-3 we have this hope also- Oh, to be a supernova !
