Jesus Transfigured Before Them

Send us Fan MailPeter, James, and John were the three disciples whom Jesus chose to accompany him at decisive points in his ministry and this day was one of those special and unique times. Jesus had them come with him up on the mountain to pray. Suddenly Jesus' appearance changed and he became brighter than the noonday sun.  If this were not astonishing enough, two of the most prominent figures from the Old Testament, Moses and Elijah, appeared, talking to Jesus. The subject of their conversation was his coming "exodus" or departure at Jerusalem - in other words, the redemptive work of the cross.  Then a cloud enveloped them all and a voice was heard, "This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him!"' What was happening on the mountain was that the  Old Testament predictions from the Law (Moses) and the Prophets (represented by Elijah) regarding the coming Messiah were being fulfilled in Jesus - he was the One they were pointing to. What  the three disciples saw that day was not only a revelation that Jesus was the promised Messiah but his innate, divine glory, what had been hidden by his humanity, shown through before them and they got a glimpse of what all his people will see when he returns on the clouds of glory at the end of this age. Bible Insights with  Wayne ConradContact: 8441 Hunnicut Rd Dallas, Texas 75228email: Att.
