Mark 9:9-10 NLT

As they went back down the mountain, he told them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

So they kept it to themselves, but they often asked each other what he meant by 'rising from the dead."

Mark 9:9-10 NLT

Peter, James and John had just experienced something on the mountain with Jesus that radical,  extraordinary, supernatural.

And Jesus was talking about rising from the dead.

Yet more radical, extraordinary and supernatural talk.

They couldn't fully grasp it, grasp the meaning of it, and Jesus was right there. 

It's no wonder that we might struggle to grasp what Jesus went through, what "rising from the dead" means, making sense of God becoming human and dying to defeat death and rising from the dead into Life, Life that we are invited into too...

Maybe we're not supposed to be able to grasp it all, make sense of it all, and leave room for mystery...room for faith...and that's OK...
