A profound transformation unfolds on a remote mountaintop as Jesus reveals his true divine nature to three astonished disciples. The Transfiguration stands as one of the most extraordinary moments in the Gospels – a glimpse behind the veil of Jesus' humanity into the fullness of his glory.

Moses and Elijah appearing alongside Jesus carries tremendous significance. They represent the Law and the Prophets – the entire witness of the Hebrew Scriptures – affirming Jesus as their fulfillment. Their presence also offers a powerful testimony about life beyond death, as these figures from centuries past stand conversing with Jesus. When God's voice thunders from the overshadowing cloud, "This is My beloved Son, listen to Him," the message becomes unmistakable: Jesus stands supreme above all others.

The eyewitness nature of this account cannot be overstated. Years later, both Peter and John would explicitly reference what they had seen and heard on that mountain – a transformative experience that sustained them through persecution and martyrdom. Their testimony challenges us: how do we respond to the revealed glory of Christ? Do we cling to mountaintop moments, or carry their truth with us into the valleys of everyday life?
