Jesus is Great (4 of 4)
Series: Jesus Is ___________
Scott Maze
Luke 9:37-50
We are looking at five biblical portraits of Jesus from Luke's gospel. Luke is one of the four biographies of Jesus. Luke gives us twenty-five percent (if you will) of the entire biography of Jesus. ''Who is Jesus?'' is the question that everyone was asking, as were the disciples. They asked this question when He calmed the winds and seas (though he was woken from a dead sleep) at a moment's notice as a librarian would a group of school children. They asked this question when He forgave sins because everyone knew that only God had the prerogative to forgive sins. And today we examine what is known the Transfiguration - the climatic event where the answer to the question, ''Who is Jesus?'' is given. Today, we learn that Jesus is Great.
On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him. And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, ''Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child. And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out. It convulses him so that he foams at the mouth, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him. And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.'' Jesus answered, ''O faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.'' While he was coming, the demon threw him to the ground and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. And all were astonished at the majesty of God.
But while they were all marveling at everything he was doing, Jesus said to his disciples, ''Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.'' But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them, so that they might not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
