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.
