What does the Bible say about the glory of Christ?

Answered in 28 sources

The Bible reveals that the glory of Christ is supreme, as recognized by His disciples during the transfiguration when God proclaimed Him as His beloved Son.

In the account of the transfiguration found in Matthew 17, the glory of Christ is dramatically displayed when He shines with divine radiance and is accompanied by Moses and Elijah. This moment illustrates the ultimate authority and glory of Christ, as God speaks from heaven, affirming Jesus as His beloved Son, and commands the disciples to listen to Him. This event emphasizes the critical importance of recognizing Christ’s supremacy in glory, as Peter and the others initially misplace that glory onto Moses and Elijah, failing to understand that their beauty is derived from Christ alone. Thus, Christians are called to honor Christ as the one true source of glory, not departing from this truth for lesser things.
