Texas Power Hour w/Carolyn Sissom - JESUS WALKED OUT OF THE GRAVE, SO WILL I

Luke 9:28-31: Jesus took Peter, John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.  As He prayed, the fashion of His countenance was altered, and His raiment was white and glistening.  Behold, there talked with Him two men, which were Moses and Elias, Who appeared in glory, and spoke of His decease which He should accomplish in Jerusalem.

The Greek word for decease is “exodus” and it means, “exit.”  Moses and Elijah came to comfort Jesus concerning his “Exodus” which was accomplished in His “decease” at Jerusalem on Golgotha’s hill!  Jesus’ departure happened on an old rugged cross, where He embarrassed principalities and powers, and led captive a host of captives.

It is of great importance that Moses, the LORD’S chosen servant; and deliverer; and who kept the First Passover by faith is sent to Jesus to strengthen Him who is the Passover Lamb.

Heb. 11:26: Moses regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward.

Obviously Moses and Elias were not in a grave; but active in Heaven involved in God’s eternal kingdom purposes.

Moses, whose name means “drawn or pulled out of the water,” was handpicked by Jehovah to liberate Israel.  Born to powerful Amram and conceived by his wise mother, Jo-che-bed, Moses possessed a Levitical heritage that would one day empower him to ascend the top of the mountain as the anointed priest of Yahweh.
