A Beautiful Transfiguration

A Beautiful Transfiguration

When Jesus and His disciples were alone, He began teaching them about His identity. He began by asking His disciples who the crowd thinks He is. After hearing their response, He asked them who they think that He is. And Peter exclaimed that Jesus is the Son of God. The very next day, Jesus took Peter, James, and John up a mountain where they saw the truth of His glory revealed. A glory that was brighter and more important than even The Law of The Prophets.

Matthew 17:1-2
In our last episode, we heard how Jesus healed a beggar who’d been blind since birth. He used the opportunity to teach His disciples an important lesson about God’s compassion and to correct their wrong thinking about the cause of illness and affliction. He also used it as an opportunity to show the Pharisees their own lack of compassion and spiritual vision. Today we’ll hear Peter demonstrate a deeper understanding of who Jesus truly is. Then we’ll learn how Jesus gives three of his closest disciples an opportunity to see His true glory in a mountaintop experience that would leave them both terrified and in wonder at who Jesus truly was.
