Knowing Jesus - Mark 9

God's glory is not just revealed on mountaintops but in the valleys of weakness, brokenness, and suffering. True discipleship isn’t about staying in moments of spiritual high but following Jesus down into the mess of everyday life. The Transfiguration shows us who Jesus truly is—but His descent from the mountain reminds us that glory is found in surrender, service, and dependence on God. Strength is not found in self, but in leaning hard into Christ when we feel weakest.
