Hello Everyone,

Today we are going to see that Jesus knew the importance of the huddle. (vs. 2-4)

² There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. ³ Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.

⁴ Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”

So, with his team, he headed up the mountain. And before the disciples could even figure out what was happening…Jesus changed big time.

His face was so bright it hurt your eyes to stare at it. His clothes became so white that they looked like a thousand stadium lights were shining through them. And then…the huddle.

“In *** FOOTBALL *** they have a huddle, the goal of the huddle is to give you thirty seconds to call the play, that is why they give you a huddle.

(At a professional or college *** FOOTBALL *** game there may be) 60 to 80 thousand people watching 11 men huddle; they don’t mind them taking thirty seconds to call the play.

They understand that you have to get organized, you have to know what the play is, and the players need to know where they are going to go. The huddle is important because it puts everyone on the same page.

The huddle of Elijah, Moses and Jesus represented all the players. Moses…the law
Elijah…the prophets and Jesus…the fulfillment of both the law and prophets.

What was about to happen next in the life of Jesus, needed a huddle.

The King of kings, sat down with the lawmaker of lawmakers, and the prophet of prophets to verify the next play.

Now, the disciples, who were at this point sitting on the sideline, had no clue what the play was.

Peter, just being Peter, decides to rush into the action and call his own play. But since he hadn’t been in the huddle…he had no clue what he was doing.

Jesus, unlike Peter, knew the importance of the huddle.
