Matthew 17:1-13 The Transfiguration

In our passage today, the Lord Jesus gives his disciples a look behind the scenes or a sneak peak at how things really will be. Three of the apostles are given a look at the glory of Christ Jesus. They get to be eyewitnesses beholding Christ’s glory, the Glory as of the only Begotten of the Father. This behind scenes look is a sneak peak at our future too. It lets us get a glimpse of Jesus not just in the humble form of man come to suffer but rather of the glory of Christ as the Son of God, preeminent, superior over even the law and prophets. Jesus is the Glorious one and therefore we ought to listen to Him.
