Romans 3:23 All people have  sinned and are not good enough for God's glory.
Matthew 22:39 And the second command is like the first:"Love your neighbor as you love yourself.''
Life of Jesus story #20
The Glory of Jesus
·         Jesus knew that God had a special plan for him.
·         Soon his time on earth would be over.
·         Jesus told his disciples that he would be leaving them.
·         They would carry on his work. The disciples did not understand.
·         They wondered why he was saying these things.
·         About a week later Jesus went up to a mountain to pray.
·         He took his disciples Peter John and James with him.
·         After a while the disciples fell asleep.
·         Jesus went on praying. While he was praying his face changed.
·         It  was shining like the sun. His clothes became a brilliant white.
·         Suddenly Moses and the prophet Elijah were there and speaking with him.
·         They talked  about what would happen when Jesus died.
·         Peter and the other two disciples woke up.
·         They saw how glorious Jesus was. They saw Moses and Elijah.
·         Then the shadow of a cloud passed over them.
·         A voice spoke from the cloud: This is my chosen Son. Listen to what he says.
·         Peter John and James  were so afraid when they heard the voice that they fell flat on the ground.
·         Jesus came over and touched them.
·         He said, Get up and don't be afraid.
·         When they opened their eyes they saw only Jesus.
·         He looked the same way he had  before.
·         Then they all began to go down  from the mountain.
·         Jesus told the others not to say a word about what had happened.
·         So they didn't say anything until after he had died and risen from the dead.
