Mark Devotional #71 – Peter, James and John are part of Jesus’ inner circle, since He makes a point of including them in some very special events.

Mark Devotional #72 – The religious teachers taught that Moses and Elijah would come to earth to announce the coming of the Messiah. These were the two greatest prophets of their religion.

73. Elijah Has Come – Mark 9:9-13
Mark Devotional #73 – It’s interesting how Peter, James and John react to having witnessed the transfiguration of Jesus in His dazzling glory on the mountain top.
