The greatest thing about the Transfiguration is that it actually happened. Peter, James, and John were eyewitnesses. We should marvel, wonder and ponder this so that we might believe and have life in Jesus. The Transfiguration shows Jesus is God of God and Light of Light. We will see this on the Last Day when He comes in glory to judge the living and the dead. The blood of Jesus cleanses us all. The Cross is the exodus of Jesus, leading us out of our sin to the Promised Land. Our lives are part of his story because we take part in His exodus. We go through death with Him. We need not be afraid of the coming judgment. We follow the Son of God. God is well pleased with Jesus, His Son, and because we are part of Him, God is pleased with us.
