Answered in 3 sources

The Transfiguration reveals Christ's divine glory, confirming His identity as the Messiah and the fulfillment of the law and the prophets.

The Transfiguration is significant because it serves as a pivotal moment in revealing Jesus's divine nature and authority. During this event, witnessed by Peter, James, and John, Christ's glory is unveiled as it shines through His humanity, which provides a glimpse of His majesty as the Son of God. The presence of Moses and Elijah speaks to the confirmation that Jesus is the fulfillment of both the Law and the Prophets, asserting that all Scripture points to Him. This moment encourages believers to recognize the importance of Christ's nature and mission, ultimately leading to the understanding of His sacrificial death and resurrection, foundational to the Christian faith.
