Testimony
When you're surrounded by a hostile crowd, who questions who you are, accuses you, and puts you on trial, what will you say? In tonight's sermon text, we see that happen both to Jesus, and to the Apostle Peter. One's testimony is unwavering and true. The other's testimony is faltering and denying. Believe it or not, in our words, attitudes, actions, and reactions, we're also giving regular testimony about Jesus to those around us. So, what is your testimony saying about Jesus?

It's easy to hurl back insults, or type an emotional ALL CAPS diatribe! What isn't easy is to show restraint. And yet, when Jesus, an innocent man is arrested, sentenced in a kangaroo court, and put to death, he does nothing to stop it, even though he had all of the power and every reason to. Why does Jesus show such restraint? It was for you!

So much so, that the disciples wanted to stay in that glory forever! But it wasn't meant to be. They needed to leave that glorious mountaintop, so that Jesus could experience weakness, humility, suffering, and death! But for us, God doesn't make us climb a mountain to see the glory of Christ revealed. We just have to open our Bibles!
