In today's message, after the amazing event of the transfiguration where Jesus shined forth some of His divine glory, He comes down from the mountain and is immediately met with a great crowd with a great need. A father is in despair because his only child is constantly being tormented by a demon. The encounter between Jesus and the crowd and His disciples that ensues demonstrates the glory, love, and compassion of Christ. This passage is more than just a demonstration of Jesus's power. It's a powerful display of the glory of Christ in the valley.
