An Irresistible Plan: alone with the twelve -- the changed plan, Matthew 16:18-21. -- Peter's stupid boldness, Matthew 16:22, with Mark 8:32. -- the best available stuff -- to see the Jesus within -- getting Paul, Acts 9:1-9.22:6-11.26:12-18.

The Glory of that Light: while praying -- changed from within -- absorbed with Jesus' master-stroke -- the jarring human note -- the glory obscured -- through an opened door -- the kingdom.
