9 As they were coming down the mountain, he ordered them to tell no one about what they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what this rising from the dead could mean. 11 Then they asked him, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” 12 He said to them, “Elijah is indeed coming first to restore all things. How then is it written about the Son of Man, that he is to go through many sufferings and be treated with contempt? 13 But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written about him.”
Prayer Focus: They were coming down the mountain. They cannot remain on the mountain in the midst of the glory. Life and ministry awaits as they come down the mountain. They are not even sure they can put into words what they have seen and experienced. So, they start asking questions about Elijah coming first. Jesus affirms that the one who prepares the way for the Son of Man has indeed come. Pray that you might recognize those who point the way to Jesus. They might not be the most popular ones, but they come first to restore all things.
