Text – Luke 9:28-36

When I was in elementary school a friend of mine died with leukemia. If he were a child today there is a good likelihood he could be treated successfully and live a long and happy life. Medicine has come so far over those years. Today we have transplants, bypasses, vaccines, joint replacements, gene therapy, and drugs that were never even dreamed of back then.
The world has changed a lot over those years. Technology has advanced by leaps and bounds. When I first started driving, cars still had points-type ignition systems and carburetors, for those of you who know what that means. Today they use electronic fuel injection and computer controlled ignition systems. Things as simple as your phone, or your stove probably have a computer in them of one type or another.
So how have the advances of science changed our outlook on Christ and the Bible?
