There are some very special people in scripture that were particularly favored by God. Mary, the mother of Jesus was called "Favored One" by Gabriel and indeed she was. What about Enoch and Elijah who escaped death and went straight to heaven? What about Jesus, the unique son of God? What about you?
This is the concluding sermon in the series, Jesus' Last 100 Days. On this Easter sermon we will consider why it is that we struggle to accept the notion that Jesus rose from the dead. We will see how both the 12 and the female followers of Jesus ignored his many predictions of his death and resurrection and explore how this transformational belief is an essential step for the disciple of Christ.

Mk 645-52 NABREMt 1422-23 NABRE45 Then he made his disciplesIlonaThornburg83
Mk 6:45-52 NABRE
Mt 14:22-23 NABRE
45 Then he made his disciples get into the boat
and precede him to the other side toward Bethsaida,
while he dismissed the crowd.
46 And when he had taken leave of them,
he went off to the mountain to pray.
47 When it was evening,
the boat was far out on the sea and
he was alone on shore.
48 Then he saw
that they were tossed about while rowing,
for the wind was against them.
About the fourth watch of the night,
he came toward them walking on the sea.
He meant to pass by them.
49 But when they saw him walking on the sea,
they thought it was a ghost and cried out.
50They had all seen him
and were terrified.
But at once he spoke with them,
“Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid!”
51 He got into the boat with them and the wind died down.
They were [completely] astounded.
52 They had not understood the incident of the loaves.
On the contrary, their hearts were hardened.
22 Then he made the disciples get into the boat
and precede him to the other side,
while he dismissed the crowds.
23 After doing so,
he went up on the mountain by himself to pray.
When it was evening
he was there alone.
24 Meanwhile the boat, already a few miles offshore,
was being tossed about by the waves,
for the wind was against it.
25 During the fourth watch of the night,
he came toward them, walking on the sea.
26 When the disciples saw him walking on the sea
they were terrified.
“It is a ghost,” they said, and they cried out in fear.
27 At once [Jesus] spoke to them,
“Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.”
28 Peter said to him in reply,
“Lord, if it is you,
command me to come to you on the water.”
29 He said, “Come.”
Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus.
30 But when he saw how [strong] the wind was
he became frightened;
and, beginning to sink,
he cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand
and caught him,
and said to him,
“O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”
32 After they got into the boat, the wind died down.
33 Those who were in the boat did him homage,
saying, “Truly, you are the Son of God.”
Mk 9:2-10 NABRE
Mt 17:1-3 NABRE
2 After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John
and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves.
And he was transfigured before them,
3 and his clothes became dazzling white,
such as no fuller on earth could bleach them.
4 Then Elijah appeared to them along with Moses,
and they were conversing with Jesus.
5 Then Peter said to Jesus in reply,
“Rabbi, it is good that we are here!
Let us make three tents:
one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
6 He hardly knew what to say, they were so terrified.
7 Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them;
then from the cloud came a voice,
“This is my beloved Son.
Listen to him.”
8 Suddenly, looking around,
they no longer saw anyone but Jesus alone with them.

All four Gospels -- Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John -- record the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into the city of Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, Nisan 10. This study is an exposition of John 12:12-19 and answers the question: "What's most important about Palm Sunday?"
This about Transfiguration.
Jesus is both Man and God, Transfiguration is an important evidence of it. Jesus is Hypostatic Union, He is both Man and God. He is one of the person in Deity. It is an important evidence for people who say that Christ is less in Person due to some Heretical Influence, Everything is carefully dealed.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

3. "Come up to me
on the mountain,
and wait there;
and I will give you
the tablets of
stone, with the law
and
the
commandment, which
I have written for their
instruction."
4. Then Moses went up
on the mountain,
and the cloud
covered the mountain.
The glory of the Lord
settled on Mount Sinai,
and the cloud covered it
for six days;
on the seventh day
he called to Moses
out of the cloud.
5. Now the appearance
of the glory of the Lord
was like a devouring fire
on the top of the mountain in
the sight of the
people of Israel.
6. "You are my son;
today I have begotten you.
Ask of me,
and I will make
the nations your heritage,
and the ends of the earth
your possession.
7. You shall break them with a
rod of iron,
and dash them in pieces
like a potter's vessel.
9. No prophecy of scripture is a matter
of one's own interpretation, because
no prophecy ever came by human will,
but men and women
moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
10. Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and
James and his brother John and led them up a
high mountain, by themselves.
13. While he was still
speaking, suddenly a bright
cloud overshadowed them, and
from the cloud a voice said, "This
is my Son, the Beloved; with him
I am well pleased; listen to him!"
14. When the disciples heard this,
they fell to the ground and were overcome by fear.
But Jesus came and touched them, saying,
"Get up and do not be afraid."
15. "Tell no one about the vision until after
the Son of Man has been raised from the dead."
