12 Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah does come first, and restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer much and be rejected? 13 But I tell you, Elijah has come, and they have done to him everything they wished, just as it is written about him.”
This chapter covers a ton of ground again, I liked these versus because they connect back to Malachi 4 that we just read. We have covered enough ground in our reading now that we have opportunities to see how the bible is perfectly constructed and interwoven...I like it. Notice I said opportunities, I'm sure I'm already missing plenty of connection points but this one hit me because we just read it a couple weeks back.
24 Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”
we could spend days on this chapter alone. Here is another great one that is easy to relate to, I do believe yet I have doubt...help me!
The transfiguration must have been unbelievable to witness too.
completely random today.

ReplyDeleteThis is the verse that caught my attention today as well. I could be that father. You can feel his want to believe....he is so desperate to help his son. But, he just can't be "all in". I feel the same way.
As far as the transfiguration......I wonder what the purpose was there? Was it for the disciples that were watching? Or was there something deeper happening and they just happened to be there? I don't know.
