The Transfiguration

The Transfiguration - Matt 17:1-13

                Jesus was changed before His disciples .  They heard the Father’s voice saying that Jesus was His beloved Son in whom He was well pleased.

1.       The Father spoke to the three disciples and told them to listen to Jesus and that He was well pleased with Jesus.

2.       They were afraid because the had never seen anything like this before.  The reality of who Jesus was really hit home that day.  When Jesus came to them is assured them and then everything was alright.

3.       They were told not to tell anyone until Jesus was raised from the dead.  Jesus told them that Elijah came first, he had come in the guise of John the Baptist.  Jesus also told them that He would suffer much.  This was a plain fact and a preparation for what was about to come.
