The Transfiguration and the Call to Go Down the Mountain

Play episode

In this message from Matthew 17, we explore the breathtaking scene of the Transfiguration—a moment where Jesus reveals his divine glory to Peter, James, and John. But this sermon isn’t just about the mountaintop experience. It’s a call to follow Jesus not just in wonder, but in obedience, sacrifice, and mission. Too often, we want to pitch our tents on the mountain, stay in our comfort zones, and soak in the spiritual highs. But Jesus says, “Take up your cross and follow me.” He’s not just a good teacher. He’s not just a moral guide. He is the divine Son, the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets, the only Savior who can rescue us from sin—and he calls us to go down the mountain and into the world.

This message challenges us to:

  • Believe without seeing
  • Obey even when we don’t feel it
  • Resist the temptation to stay comfortable
  • Bring others to the foot of the cross

Whether you’re in a season of spiritual dryness or at a high point in your walk with God, this sermon will remind you: the real work begins after the mountaintop. 🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe for more biblical teaching and encouragement. 📖 Scripture: Matthew 17:1–9
