The Transfiguration
An eyewitness` presence is often the means by which we
define what is considered to be fiction or fact.
Recorded In the account of the transfiguration this is multiplied by three.
An event in Jesus' life; it is also referred to in Peter's letter to the church.
The account we find in the gospels is expressed in great detail
reading as one would expect if it was given by one who was there,
and It is generally accepted that Mark used Peter as the source for his tale.
The earliest of the accounts, Mark was written around thirty years after these events took place.
In this amazing event, Peter, James and John were privileged to see Jesus' glory.
Having been taken aside to pray with the Lord, they ascended a mountain
whilst there they witnessed Him change and saw a glimpse of His glory
There appeared also, Moses and Elijah speaking of His imminent death,.
As representatives of the Law and the Prophets they symbolised the Word of God
by declaring the plan of salvation about to be realised by His death on Calvary.
however, the Lord must reassume His humanity to fulfill the will of God.
Peter's desire to retain the experience is thwarted as God acknowledges His son. from heaven.
Furthermore as they descend from the mount they are told not to mention this
The time has not yet come for this truth to be revealed, and they must wait.
Jesus instructs them that this is to be revealed only after He rises
Then Jesus continues on the journey to Jerusalem to fulfill His Father's will.
