Luke 9:28-36
(The Transfiguration of our Lord)
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF JESUS TRANSFIGURATION
Transfiguration was the glorification of the human body of Jesus Christ. The scene is a representation of Christ's coming kingdom in its fullness.
The appearance of Moses and Elijah with Jesus is highly significant
(V.30). The name 'Moses' was equated with the Old Testament law that God had given to the people. Jesus came and fulfilled the commandments of the law and did the things the law could not do i.e., to provide an answer to the problem of sin. The law pointed out the problem; Jesus gave the solution
(Jn 1:17), Elijah was also an outstanding figure in the Old Testament. He was a great prophet and his appearance with Moses on the Mount of Transfiguration testified that Jesus fulfilled the prophets as well as the law. The voice of God the father gave confirmation of the calling and Sonship of Jesus Christ
(v.35). He acknowledged that Jesus had pleased Him in the things He had said and done.
There are many religious through which people worship God but God was recommending Jesus Christ to us as the only Way, the Truth and the Life (Jn 14:6). No one can be found right before God through his own efforts of doing right. Forgiveness of sins and being right with God is only possible through a personal faith in Jesus Christ who loved us and gave Himself for us. You must make up your mind to listen to Jesus Christ in every situation (v.35).
PRAYER: Lord, give me a listening ear and heart to do whatever You have commanded in Jesus Name. Amen!
