The Hiding of the Higher Life
Mark 9:1-10
And he said to them, Truly I say to you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death…


The hiding of the higher life will be in proportion to its compass and elevation. The young Christian talks more of his experience than the old Christian, just as a rill may make more noise than a river. An ordinary mother talks much of her child; but the mother of Christ "kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart."

(J. Parker, D. D.)
