Mountains as places of change & God sightings (Exodus
24:12-18; Matthew 17:1-9; in the spark bible pp. 358-359)
Do you remember a few weeks ago we started talking about God
sightings and looking for God in everyday life?
Our story today is about seeing God on the mountains—but don’t take
my word for it! Here come Peter, James and John to tell you the story!
Peter: One day, Jesus
asked us to go on a walk with him. Can
you walk with us? Walk, walk, walk.
James: But it wasn’t just
any walk—no! Jesus asked us to walk up a
mountain with him! How do you walk up a mountain? Pretend with me—walk, walk, walk, walk.
John: As Jesus walked beside us, I noticed something
different about him.
Peter: He was
shining!
James: His face and
his clothes were as bright as the sun!
John: It was amazing—WOW!
Can you say “Wow” with
me? WOW.
James: Not just that—all of a sudden, Moses and the prophet
Elijah were standing next to Jesus! They told us about God’s
promise to save the world.
Peter: I couldn’t believe my eyes—or my ears! Could it be true? Would Jesus save the world?
John: Then a voice spoke from heaven
God: This is my
son. Listen to him!
John: The voice belonged to God! We were surprised and a little scared
Peter, John, and James
cover their faces.
Peter: Jesus touched me.
John: and me
James: and me
Peter: we looked up and everything was back to normal.
James: On the way back down the mountain, we talked about
God’s
promise to save the world.
John: But we didn’t tell anyone else about what had
happened for a long time.
Peter: It was amazing!
We had met God on the Mountain! And
he had promised to save us. God promised
to save the world—say it with me—God promised to save the world!
Where are some places you have seen God this week?
