Matthew 16:24-28 The cost of discipleship and the need to put one's spiritual life first to gain eternal life. Put physical life first means the losing of eternal life. Christ is coming to judge. The spiritual kingdom will be set up in the apostles lifetime. Matthew 17:1-4 Jesus is transfigured on the mount and the disciple see the glory of Christ evidence of the immortality of the soul. They see Moses and Elijah in glory with Christ.
