In chapter 8, Mark records Peter’s confession of Jesus as the Christ. Mark describes Jesus’s glorious transfiguration immediately afterward in chapter 9. According to Dan Doriani, that’s intentional. The transfiguration not only affirms Christ, but offers comfort to his soon-to-be persecuted disciples. Today on His People, Spencer Dalke and Dan Doriani discuss this evidence for Jesus’s deity and messiahship.
- Moses and Elijah as unique figures pointing to Christ.
- God’s affirmation of Christ’s deity.
- The destruction of fear by Christ’s promises.
