Matthew:Transfiguration / Transformation

We come to this amazing mountain top account of the transfiguration of Christ. This dramatic event marks a major turning point in the gospel narratives, for Jesus was beginning to turn more and more to Jerusalem and the suffering and death that awaited Him there. But before all of that would take place, we get to see this glimpse of Christ’s glory. The revelation of Christ’s glory in this chapter was a clear confirmation to the disciples of the truth in Peter’s confession of faith, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:16 (NASB)
