<p>Six days after Jesus says the word nobody wanted to hear — <em>suffer</em> — He takes Peter, James, and John up the mountain.</p><p>And everything changes.</p><p>In this episode of <strong>The Semi-Seminarian</strong>, we step into <strong>Luke 9:28–36 (WEB)</strong> and see the Transfiguration through Peter’s eyes. The air thins. The veil thins. Jesus shines — not reflecting glory, but revealing it. Moses and Elijah appear. And Luke uses one explosive word to describe what they discuss:</p><p><strong>Exodus.</strong></p><p>Not “departure.” Not “passing away.” <strong>Exodus.</strong></p><p>That single Greek word (ἔξοδος) reframes the cross as a new Red Sea — not defeat, but deliverance. The glory on the mountain does not compete with the cross. It reveals who is hanging on it.</p><p>This sermon explores:</p><ul><li>The Transfiguration in Luke 9</li><li>The theological meaning of “exodus”</li><li>Why Peter panicked and tried to build tents</li><li>The difference between revelation and possession</li><li>Why the mountain prepares us for Jerusalem</li><li>How glory strengthens us for suffering</li><li>What it means that “Jesus was found alone”</li></ul><p>This is preaching for the weary. For the ones walking down the hill. For those who saw something once and aren’t sure anymore if it was real.</p><p>You are not listening to content.
