Book: After witnessing the glory of the Transfiguration, the disciples could not comprehend Jesus’ comments about resurrection, death, and suffering. Just like John the Baptist, who came in the spirit of Elijah, Jesus would be rejected and abused.

People fail to realize that the path to glory often goes through the shadows of pain and sacrifice. If Jesus had to endure suffering, can you expect less?
