Mark 9:4-8
In this passage, we see Elijah and Moses in the presence of Jesus Christ. It is a picture of Jesus as the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. You see, Elijah represents the prophets and Moses represents the law. And here they are, both finding the glory of God in the presence of the Only Begotten Son. Jesus, Himself, said, "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill" (Matthew 5:17).
You can find encouragement in the law and the prophets. But the only true glory in life -- and in eternity -- is being found in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. True joy, fulfillment, and peace in your life come when you have a relationship with Him. Paul said, "For me to live is Christ but to die is gain" (Philippians 1:21). This is a two-fold promise. Living every day with Christ is such a blessing. And knowing that when we die we will be with Him, face-to-face, for eternity is even better! So until we are with Him for eternity, we keep serving Him.
Jesus fulfilled everything in the law and everything in the prophets. And Jesus can surely fulfill everything in your life when you surrender it to Him.
