give his dis ciples regarding the necessity of his suffering and death must have con tinued for several days after peters confession- during these days jesus must have told them how he had come to see the fathers will in the dark fate which was hanging over him and he must also have spoken much of the messianic predictions contained in the j law and tho prophets only by such means at any rate can the disciples ii r j a f a- minds have been prepared for the ex- akron o and africa are perience which now follows and i united by radio anfthlng this lack of faith on the part of ms followers greatly distress es jesus vs- 2527 jesus comes to the rescue the messiah into whose divine glory down to wrestle with the demon forces the disciples have had a glimpse steps down to wrestle with the demon forces of pain and grief which afflict suffering humanity he lays aside his glory to take on him the form of servant we have seen jesus casting out demons before but this was a specially pitiful case the sufferer was a child and so wasted wan his strength that at this moment when jesus healed him he wore the pallor i of death but the healing takes effect the power of jesus is greater than the power of the demons vs 28 29 the disciples are obvi ously ashamed they a3k tho master what defect in themselves explains their failure to administer help in tho painful circumstances just described ell answers the want of prayer many ancient authorities add and fasting jesus attached supreme im portance to prayer and if he adds fasting it was because fasting was helpful to prayer fasting betokens an earnest desire to know the will and to surrender to the power of god we see clearly here how jesus ob tained his own success the seat of trouble flowers and vegetables no 8 revolt reported

transfiguration the transfiguration experience points back to a moment when as the result oi jesus teaching and during a re treat for prayer on the hilltops tho truth of jesus predictions flashes on the disciples and they sea the glory of the messianic sufferings they see the persecuted messiah triumphant over suffering in the blessed fellow ship of moses and elijah but swift upon this came an experience down in the plain which brought them backj sharply to the realities of service i a glimpse of jesus in his mes sianic glosy 2s vs 2 3 the experience is accur ately dated as taking place about a week after peters confession jesus had called the disciples aside for teaehing and prayer among the hills the religious impressions produced by such a retreat and particularly the solemn disclosures of jesus re garding his suffering and death would supply conditions favorable to the vision which now follows in any case the eyes of the disciples are sud denly opened they see jesus trans figured that is they see him changed in form wearing no longer the aspect of his earthly humiliation but lit up with heavenly dory as one triumph ant over suffering and death- v 4 by the side of jesus is the vision for vision it is they see glorified saints of whom jesus had been speaking much in these recent davs 1 moses who had testified dcut 1815 regarding a prophet who- was to come in later days and whom the people of israel were to hear 2 elijah of whom it was prophesied that he would come before the day of judgment malachi 31 and 15 if jesus had been speaking to his disciples about these prophecies and these prophets we can under- fi how the two beatified figures fall ito place in the vision by tho side of jesus vs 5 0 peters words are meant to indicate how tremendously over powered he is by the religious impres sions of this great moment he more than any of the disciples feels tho gloriousness of a restored confidence in jesus as the messiah yet even at this moment something of his old naure comes out just as in our last lesson lie tried to prevent jesus from sveakirjr of his sufferings and death so here he tries to dissuade him from goimr to jerusalem this alone can be the meaning of the words about raking tents or booths in which the person in the visions may stay- bjas he nyansetist says peters words wore a mere foolishness blurt ed ii in n kid of
