Luke 9:28-62
The ‘glory’ of Christ (32) - ‘Before the world was made’, He shared the
Father’s glory. Through the Cross - ‘His departure...’(31) - , Christ,
‘the Lamb that was slain’ for sinners, has fulfilled God's eternal
purpose of salvation (John 17:4-5; Revelation 13:8). We are to ‘look’ to
the Lamb of God. We are to ‘listen’ to God’s beloved Son. If we do not
look and listen, we will not learn. To those who refuse to look, listen
and learn, God issues His Word of warning: ‘See that you do not refuse
Him who is speaking’(Hebrews 12:25). We must confess our spiritual
poverty, our lack of power (37-42), understanding (43-45), humility
(46-48), unity (49-50) and love (51-56). Looking to Christ who ‘set His
face to go to Jerusalem’ and refusing to ‘look back’, we must choose to
be ‘good soldiers of Jesus Christ’(51,62: 2 Timothy 2:3-4).
