Consider Jesus

Speaker: Rev. Raleigh Sims


Scripture Focus: Deuteronomy 34:1–12, Hebrews
3:1–6, & Luke 9:28-36


Series: The Transfiguration of Our Lord


Service Summary: The reading from Deuteronomy
extols Moses as the greatest prophet. He led God’s people toward
the Promised Land, but the Epistle draws a contrast between him
and our Lord. “Consider Jesus,” the Epistle encourages us today,
not because He is a great servant with us in the “house,” or
Church, the people of God, but because He is over it as the
builder. When Jesus was baptized, the voice from heaven declared
Him to be pleasing to His Father in heaven. The voice from the
cloud on the Mount of Transfiguration adds a command not only to
the three disciples, but to us as well: “Listen to Him!” From
that mount to Mount Calvary, He, the Word Incarnate, tells us of
God’s great love; He goes to the cross willingly so that we may
graciously follow Him through death to our eternal promised land
of heaven.
