The Transfiguration: Revealing Jesus' Glory and Mission
Explore the divine revelation of Jesus' glory in the Transfiguration and how it confirms His mission to save and lead God's people.
📖 Introduction
The Transfiguration of Jesus is one of the most remarkable moments recorded in the Gospels, where Christ’s divine nature and mission are vividly revealed to His closest disciples. This event, recounted in Matthew 17:1–13, provides a profound glimpse into the glory of Jesus—a foreshadowing of His resurrection and ultimate triumphant glory.
Traversing the dialogue of Moses and Elijah with Jesus on the mountain, the Transfiguration connects the Law and the Prophets with Christ’s fulfillment of God’s promises. This moment reassures the disciples and us that Jesus is the promised Messiah, chosen and affirmed by God Himself. It’s a divine confirmation of His mission to suffer, die, and rise again, leading the way for our salvation.
