III. The Great Experiences of Jesus' Life.
3. The Transfiguration: An Emergency Measure. Matthew 16:28-17:1-8. Mark 9:1-8. Luke 9:27-36.


God in Sore Straits: the darkest hour save one, fugitive, John 7:1. ban, John 9:22, 34. pushing, Matthew 15:1. Mark 7:1.—the danger zone, "withdrew," Matthew 4:12.12:15.14:13.15:21. Tabernacles, John 7:32.8:59.—Galileans desert, John 6:60-66.—the inner circle infected, John 6:67-71.—God needs men.

Fire and anvil for Leaders: mental strength—seasoned leadership—Simon and Peter.

An Irresistible Plan: alone with the twelve—the changed plan, Matthew 16:18-21.—Peter's stupid boldness, Matthew 16:22, with Mark 8:32.—the best available stuff—to see the Jesus within—getting Paul, Acts 9:1-9.22:6-11.26:12-18.

The Glory of that Light: while praying—changed from within—absorbed with Jesus' master-stroke—the jarring human note—the glory obscured—through an opened door—the kingdom.

A Vision of Jesus: gleams of light—the purpose secured, John 20:19, 24, 26-29.—an indelible impress, John 1:14.12:41. Mark 9:3 with 1 Peter 1:16-17. Acts 12:2.—changed while looking, Acts 22:11.2 Corinthians 3:18.
