Bible Question: Explain the transfiguration of Christ. What was it; what was its purpose? |
Bible Answer: Hi Hank, I think the transfiguration of Christ was to show His Deity and give them the hope, the view, of what they will see in heaven. Let me write two scripture verses if NASB will allow me to put in capitalization and parenthesis. Compare Matt 17:8 and Matt 18:10. Matt 17:8, And lifting up their eyes, they saw no (One) except Jesus alone." Matt 18:10, "See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven continually see the face of My Father who is in heaven. For the Son of (Man) has come to save that which was lost." |
