Have you ever found yourself on the receiving end of someone trying to help you see what you cannot perceive?
If you're married, you likely understand this experience well, as your spouse has probably been trying to help you see certain things for years that you still struggle to grasp. When you finally do come to understand these things, you may look back and think, "Oh, that makes sense." What causes this lack of understanding?
In many cases, it is pride that blinds us. The only way to recognize our pride is to gain a change of perspective. It’s often easier to see things clearly when you are looking at them from the other side. For those attempting to help someone else see differently, this is a labor of love, often done for the other person's benefit.
In the passage we’ll discuss today, Jesus is again trying to help His disciples gain clarity. Although they have declared Him to be the Messiah, they still seem confused about what that truly means. Jesus has made attempts to clarify this multiple times before, but today He will reveal something they could hardly imagine. He will give them a Glimpse of His glory to help them see from a different perspective.
