The Transfiguration reveals Jesus' divine nature and the fulfillment of the law and the prophets.
The Transfiguration of Jesus serves as a pivotal moment that unveils His divine nature as the Son of God. Witnessed by Peter, James, and John, this event illustrates the glory of Christ, confirming Him as the fulfillment of the law represented by Moses and the prophets embodied by Elijah. In Luke 9:30-31, the conversation between Jesus, Moses, and Elijah centers around His destined 'decease' in Jerusalem, highlighting the centrality of Christ's redemptive work. The event emphasizes that all elements of the law and prophetic writings point toward the Messiah, ultimately establishing Jesus as the sole mediator between God and man and fulfilling the promise of salvation found throughout Scripture.
