8 Suddenly when they looked around, they saw no one with them any more, but only Jesus.
Prayer Focus: As quickly as the transfiguration began, it was over. Again, Mark provides few details. But only Jesus remains. His work is not yet complete. It is not time for him to assume his rightful place in the heavens. Jesus remains on the mountain top with Peter and James and John. He has more words yet to speak. Sometimes we get just a glimpse of the Kingdom of God, just a moment of insight into God’s redeeming work in the world. But a glimpse can be all we need to keep going, to keep believing, to keep hoping. Pray for a glimpse of the Kingdom and God at work today.
