How does the description of Christ's face shine like the sun relate to His glory?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's face shining like the sun signifies His divine glory and the redemptive work accomplished through His sacrifice.

The imagery of Christ's face shining like the sun in Revelation reflects His divine glory and the radiance of His redemptive work. In Matthew 17:1-2, during the transfiguration, the brightness of Jesus’ face symbolizes His divine nature and the truth of His mission. This glory is integral to understanding who Christ is; it is not merely physical brightness but represents His character and redemptive work on behalf of His people. God's glorification of Christ through His obedient sacrifice emphasizes the completion of salvation for the elect. The brilliance of His glory serves as a reminder to His followers that true beauty and enlightenment come from knowing Him—the Light of the World.
