The disciples had the luxury of spending 3 years with Jesus, unfortunately we don’t get that luxury today. In this series we are going to climb into their world for just 2 days and spend 2 days with Jesus coming from John chapter 6. In this chapter we see Jesus perform miracles, interact with supports and dissenters and teach us about who He is. From this snapshot of Jesus’ life we can see the character, nature and identity of Jesus and as we begin to learn these things we can adopt them into our lives too.

He Turned His Face Toward Jerusalem – The Mount of Transfiguration
