Doctrine of the Cross : Matthew Ch. 16 V 24-28
Jesus then said to his disciples: "If a man wishes
to come after me, he must deny his very self, take
up his cross, and begin to follow in my
footsteps. Whoever would save his life
will lose it, but whoever loses his life for
my sake will find it. What profit would
a man show if he were to gain the whole
world and destroy himself in the process?
What can a man offer in exchange for his
very self ? The Son of Man will come
with his Father's glory accompanied by his
angels. When he does, he will repay each
man according to his conduct. I assure
you , among those standing here there are
some who will not experience death before
they see the Son of Man come in his
Kingship.
Jesus Transfigured : Matthew Ch. 17 1-8
Six days later Jesus
took Peter, James, and his brother John and
led them up on a high mountain by themselves.
He was transfigured before their
eyes. His face became as dazzling as the
sun, his clothes as radiant as light.
suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to
them conversing with him. Then Peter said to
Jesus, "Lord how good that we are here !
With your permission I will erect three booths (tents)
here, one for you, one for Moses , and one
for Elijah ." He was still speaking when
suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them.
Out of the cloud came a voice which said,
"This is my beloved Son on whom my favor
rests. "Listen to Him." When they heard
this the disciples fell forward on the ground,
overcome with fear. Jesus came toward
them and laying his hand on them, said,
"Get up ! so not be afraid." When they
looked up they did not see anyone but Jesus.
