Mark 9:7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. I. CHRIST IS GOD'S MESSENGER TO MAN. He came forth and proceeded from the Father. Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. He had (1) a Divine commission; (2) a Divine message; (3) Divine credentials, divinely authenticated. He spake with authority. He revealed mysteries. II. MAN'S DUTY TO GOD'S MESSENGER. Hear Him — 1. Because His ministry is the supercessor of the ministries of Moses and Elias. 2. Because this ministry contains matters of universal importance. 3. Because the rejection of this ministry leaves no moral instructor available. Christ is the truth of God, through whom the Father's latest will is made known to man. Hear Christ's words, catch Christ's spirit, obey Christ's law, and you shall inherit Christ's promises. (J. F. Porter.) Parallel Verses KJV: And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. |
