Mark 9:2-29

We need Jesus for all of life.  In Mark 9 we see Jesus on both the mountaintop and in the valley…And what we see is that both are critical to us knowing who Jesus is and why we need Him in our life.  What Jesus is going to show us about Himself on the mountaintop is the sole key to living in the mess of life.  It’s the key to dealing with difficulty and not becoming cynical; to dealing with suffering and not despairing; and dealing with pain and loss and not becoming hard-hearted.  Mark 9 shows us how we become that type of person.
