Resolved, when I think of any theorem in divinity to be solved, immediately to do what I can towards solving it, if circumstances don't hinder.
I won't ask all the questions now. But I will start with a few.
First, at the foot of the Mount of Transfiguration, Jesus selected three of his twelve disciples to go with him up that mountain and to see what was about to happen (v 2). They were there to describe the indescribable. Why only three? And why those three.
So if Jesus took them to describe the indescribable, of the three that he took, only one penned a gospel, and that was John. Yet in John's gospel, he does not include the transfiguration.
One more question, and this is for fun. At least once a year, Sports Illustrated has an article entitled, Where Are They Now that is a follow up to an athlete who had his 15 minutes of fame but has now fallen off the map. In v. 36, Jesus address the "who is the greatest" argument the disciples are having. "And he took a child and put him in the midst of them". What ever happened to that young child? Did he grow up to be a follower? Maybe he became mayor of that village, or a common criminal. I just have a feeling that something poignant came of his life...
Someday, we will know.
