Why is the transfiguration of Christ significant?

Answered in 1 source

The transfiguration reveals Christ's divine glory and foreshadows the glory that awaits believers.

The transfiguration of Christ, described in Mark 9:2-4, is significant as it gives a glimpse of His divine glory, confirming His identity as the Son of God. This event serves as a foretaste of the glory that believers will share with Christ when they are transformed (2 Corinthians 3:18). The presence of Moses and Elijah signifies that Christ fulfills both the Law and the Prophets, emphasizing that our salvation is rooted in Him, not in our works. This glorious event reassures believers of their future transformation into Christ's likeness and encourages them to persevere in faith.
