Matthew 17 - July 9, 2026

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate HereToday’s reading takes us to Matthew 17, where Peter, James, and John see Jesus transfigured in glory. The One who had just spoken of suffering and death now shines with divine majesty, while Moses and Elijah stand with Him, pointing to the Law and the Prophets finding their fulfillment in Christ. Then the Father speaks from the cloud: “This is my beloved Son… listen to him.”Matthew 17 connects directly to 2 Peter 1, because Peter later says he was an eyewitness of Christ’s majesty on that holy mountain. The God who gives a new heart in Ezekiel 36, grafts us into the vine in John 15, and supplies everything needed for godliness in 2 Peter 1 now opens our eyes to the glory of His Son. So today, read Matthew 17 and remember: the glorious Christ is the One who fuels, forms, and calls us to live a life that proves we have seen Him.
