“They Saw No One but Jesus”

Int: Have you ever seen Schindler’s List? It’s about a factory owner in Poland who tried to employ as many Jews as possible during WW II. Very good movie. It’s black and white with one exception. A little girl stands out because she’s wearing a red coat. You can’t take your eyes off her. Today’s Gospel reading is also about keeping your eyes on one thing. We’ll look at Matthew 17 again in a minute, but first, let’s talk about:

I. Miracles
       a. Miraculous Signs

II. Mountain
      a. Matthew 17:2 – Jesus was transfigured; his face shone like the sun, and his clothes
          became white as light.
      b. Matthew 17:8 – When the disciples lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus.”

​

III. Where are We Looking?
      a. Hebrews 12:2 – Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set              before him endured the cross, scorning its shame.

 

Con: The Transfiguration is the last time we see a glorious Jesus before Lent…
