As I read through the passage from Matthew 17, I was struck by how much Jesus loved His disciples. He was always there for them, even when they were struggling.

Elijah was also able to bring fire from the sky. One of the most famous miracles that Elijah performed was when he brought fire from the sky to destroy the prophets of the god Baal.
Peter’s Response
Peter’s Response
In Matthew 17:1-9, Jesus tells a story about a man who went to heaven. In heaven, the man saw a great throne and sitting on it was a person wearing a robe and a crown. The man asked who the person was. The person replied, “I am the King of kings and the Lord of lords. I am God.” The man was so surprised that he fell to his knees.
In this story, Jesus is teaching us about God. He is the one who created everything and is the one who will judge us. We should always be humble and worship him.
Application
In Matthew 17:1-9, Jesus teaches about His relationship with His Father. He says that He does what His Father asks Him to do, and that He loves Him. This is a reminder that we should always obey God, and that we should love Him in return.
The Importance of Listening
Listening is an important skill that we need to develop in order to have a successful relationship with others. In Matthew 17:1-9, Jesus teaches us how to listen effectively. He tells us that it is important to listen with our heart and to understand what the other person is saying. If we are able to do this, we will be able to build a strong relationship with them.
The Power of Faith
Faith is one of the most powerful things a person can have. It is the belief in something without seeing it for yourself. Faith can help a person through tough times, and it can be the foundation for a happy life. In Matthew 17:1-9, Jesus tells a story about a man who had faith in Him. The man was able to see the miracles Jesus was performing, and he was able to believe in Him even when he was faced with difficult circumstances. This story shows us how important faith is, and it can help us through any difficult situation.
The Need for Humility
There is a need for humility in today’s society. Too often, people think they are better than others, and they act accordingly. This can lead to problems, as people can be arrogant and not listen to others.
In Matthew 17:1-9, Jesus tells a story about a man who went to visit a rich man. The man was so impressed with how rich the man was, that he decided to ask him for a favor. The man asked the rich man to give him a job. The rich man told the man that he couldn’t do that, as he had already given all of his jobs to other people. The man was so disappointed that he went away.
In this story, Jesus is teaching us about humility. The man was too proud to ask the rich man for a job, and he ended up getting rejected. We need to be humble if we want to be successful. We should always be willing to ask for help, and we should not be too proud to do what is asked of us.
The Bible is full of stories of people who faced difficult challenges and found ways to overcome them. In Matthew 17:1-9, Jesus tells a story of a man who had a problem. The man had a large number of disciples, but he couldn’t pay them all the money he owed them.
Jesus told the man to go away and think about what he had done. The next day, the man came back and said, “I’ve had a great idea. I’ll divide my disciples into groups of ten and give each group a penny. Then everyone will be paid what they’re owed.”
The disciples were happy with the solution, and everyone was paid what they were owed. The man’s problem was solved, and he was able to continue his ministry.
This story shows us that if we face a problem and come up with a solution, we can overcome it. We can be happy and successful in our lives.
