As they were coming down the mountain, he ordered them not to tell anyone what they had seen until after the Human One had risen from the dead. So they kept it to themselves, wondering, “What’s this ‘rising from the dead’?” They asked Jesus, “Why do the legal experts say that Elijah must come first?” He answered, “Elijah does come first to restore all things. Why was it written that the Human One would suffer many things and be rejected? In fact, I tell you that Elijah has come, but they did to him whatever they wanted, just as it was written about him.” (Mark 9:9-13, CEB)
I wonder how the disciples looked at Jesus? I often imagine it like this:
What is this rising from the dead, and what about Elijah?
We read the stories and know the ending and we still don’t get it.
Know though you are in good company when you don’t get it.
Loving People. Loving God.
