My Song In The Night (Gospel of Luke)
我夜间的歌曲《路加福音》
Text: Luke 9: 32-33
UNABLE TO KEEP AWAKE
1. The Lord Jesus had brought 3 Disciples with Him.
2. It was such a privilege to be so specially chosen.
a. Chosen out of the Multitudes to form The Twelve.
b. Chosen out of The Twelve to become “The Three”.
3. But they were not able to stay awake with the Lord Jesus.
4. The contrast was stark and obvious.
a. The Lord Jesus
“As He prayed…” Luke 9:29
b. The Three
“But Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep” Luke 9:32a
FINALLY AWAKE
1. The Three became awake when Moses and Elijah were departing (Luke 9:32b).
“And when they were fully awake, they saw His glory
and the two men who stood with Him.” Luke 9:32c
a. They missed so much.
b. They saw only the end part of the Transfiguration.
i. They saw the glory of the Lord Jesus.
ii. They saw the two men who were standing with Him.
2. Peter blurted out these words to the Lord Jesus
a. “Master, it is good for us to be here” (Luke 9:33a)
b. “And let us make three tabernacles;
One for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah” (Luke 9:33b)
3. Did Peter really understand what he was actually saying?
The answer: “Not knowing what he said” (Luke 9:33c).
