A Mountaintop Experience
Dennis McCallum
Mark 9:1-7
Jesus' transfiguration on the mountain before James, Peter and John communicates the transcendence and immanence of God. Often, God will use spiritual experiences for strengthening and encouragement during trial. This event also proved that Jesus fulfilled and supersedes the Old Testament. As Christians, we should learn to enjoy spiritual experiences but not depend on them for the basis of our faith, which is found in Christ.
