The Perspective We Need (Matthew 17:1-13)

Why do people climb mountains? For some it's to get a new perspective. When you climb a tall mountain you see the world down below differently, but you also see yourself differently as it makes you feel small. In our passage this Sunday, Jesus takes three of his disciples up a mountain, because they needed a new perspective--on the world, on themselves, and on Him. And of course, this is a new perspective that we need, too.
