‘See the ups and downs faced by the Saviour’ (Luke 9:28-45)

When Jesus went up high on the mountain in Luke 9:28-36, the disciples saw His glory revealed to them by God the Father. But when Jesus came down the mountain into the valley in Luke 9:37-45, He immediately encountered the impotence of the disciples to deal with the situation at hand. Once he has dealt with that, Jesus went on to explain again that He would suffer and die. Although the disciples saw something of the glory which was to come, the cross would come too. Suffering. Pain. Loss. The path God the Father chose for his Son was difficult indeed. Suffering before the fulness of His glory.
