TOPIC:     THE TRANSFIGURATION IS THAT SINGULAR EVENT

RECORDED IN ALL THE SYNOPTIC GOSPEL THUS MATT 17:1-8, MARK 9:2-8 AND LUKE 9 :28-36

DISCUSS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE EVENT IN NOT LESS THAN 300 WORDS.

The transfiguration of Christ Jesus as recorded in the book of Matthew, Mark and Luke respectively was a supernatural experience. The event did not only shock the discipline that was with him on the mountain , but also strengthen their faith in God and confidence of the son ship authority of the  master.

To me, the book of Luke 9:28-36 seems to give a better clarification about Jesus transfiguration during prayer to God on the mountain with three of his associates (Peter, James and John) the  NIV bible vs 29,

“AS HE WAS PRAYING, THE APPEARANCE OF HIS FACE CHANGED, AND HIS CLOTHES BECAME AS BRIGTH.........” VS 30...... “MOSES AND ELIJAH APPEARED IN GLORIOUS SPLENDOR TALKING WITH JESUS”.......... BUT PETER, JAMES AND JOHN WERE SLEEPING”.

This scripture speaks volume of the revelation behind transfiguration

          Furthermore, the word transfiguration as derived from Latin terms, is also used to translate in the Greek as “METAMORPHOSE” meaning to change into another, that is a supernatural being. But there is another twist to the remarkable experience, of transfiguration. In view of that, what is message is the sudden appearance of old prophet   Moses and Elijah on the mountain as Christ prays. The message on the sudden emergence of the dead prophet is that God gave the convenant law to Moses, whereas he made Elijah a fire prophet, meaning, “MOSES REPRESENT THE LAW, ELIJAH REPRESENT THE PROPHET, AND JESUS NOW IS THE FINAL MESSIAH AND GOD HIMSELF.
