LISTENING TO JESUS AND DOING HIS WILL IS THE MESSAGE OF THE LORD’S TRANSFIGURATION

Today we celebrate one of the important milestones in the early life of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is, His Transfiguration. This event happened when Christ took some of his disciples that is, Peter, James, and John up the mountain, and before their presence, he was transfigured and his clothes became dazzling white.

At the Transfiguration, the Lord demonstrated his divine power and revealed his glory; the glory he had before the foundation of the world. Christ showed his divine nature to his disciples to strengthen their faith so that during his passion they will remember that He is God and all that he has said will be fulfilled. That is why Peter would say,” We know He is Messiah and will reign as Messiah because we saw His physical glory’.

The revelation and miracles of God in our lives are for us to have a firm foundation as true disciples in our faith journey. Our faith in God strengthens us and helps us to become closer to God.

Remember, “A little faith will bring your soul to heaven, but a lot of faith will bring heaven to your soul’.

Lord renew my soul in you.
