Are you a person of God or a person of the world?

“Nowhere Man” by John Lennon (1965) (a few of the lyrics)

He’s a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Doesn’t have a point of view
Knows not where he’s going to
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?

In Mark 1:12​-13 Jesus who is True God and True Man was driven into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit and while being tempted by Satan was ministered to by Angels.

For the past year we have all been in a wilderness of temptation and testing because of the Coronavirus and ensuing life disasters. As Christians we comfort and encourage one another while in these trials and pray for those who suffer and do not believe in Jesus hoping that the Holy Spirit will touch their hearts as they cry out.

Jesus knows all our weaknesses and temptations. See Hebrews 2:14​-18 and Hebrews 4:14​-16. He continues to act on our behalf.

Transfiguration story of Jesus: Mark 9:2-8. Jesus reveals Himself in this pre-Easter event that the disciples may be energized to more devotion to the task at hand.

Transformation has the same meaning as transfiguration; metamorphosis (great change). St. Paul describes this action in Romans 12:2 and 2 Corinthians 5:16​-17.

The basis for this message is Isaiah 40:28-31:

“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the whole earth. He never becomes faint or weary; there is no limit to his understanding. He gives strength to the faint and strengthens the powerless. Youths may become faint and weary, and young men stumble and fall, but those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not become weary, they will walk and not faint.”

The Gospel reading is Mark 1:16​-20 and I have based three main principles upon it:

1. We are to look like him (1 John 2:6; Ephesians 5:1-2)
2. Draw near to God (James 4:8; Hebrews 10:22​)
3. Hold on to hope becoming Christ-like (Hebrews 10:23​; Psalm 147:11; Proverbs 10:28​; 1 Peter 1:3-4; Jeremiah 29:11)
