Is This the Glory We Want or the Glory We Need?

Jesus took Peter, James, and John up a mountain, where they saw Elijah and Moses, and then God the Father spoke to them. Afterwards, Jesus told them not to tell anyone until after he had risen. This encounter may seem strange to us, and probably raises some questions, but in this sermon Pastor Schurman explains the context and points out that, while it may not be the glory we want, the glory we need is Christ on the cross.
