The Transfiguration of Christ was a remarkable event where Jesus' face shone like the sun and his raiment was white as light, shown to three disciples to strengthen them for their future ministry. This experience would stay with them forever, with Peter and John going on to bear testimony of the event. The concept of transfiguration is also applied to Christian believers, who are changed into the image of Christ as they behold his glory in the Scriptures.

Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. The Transfiguration And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart, and was transfigured before them and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. Matthew 17, 1 and 2. This remarkable transfiguration of Christ was shown to the three disciples so that they could actually see him coming in his kingdom, as he will do someday when he returns to earth, in the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. This would ever afterward be an unforgettable experience that would strengthen the disciples for their critical future ministry.
James was martyred, but his brother John survived to bear the testimony far and wide for almost seventy more years. And we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father. Peter also wrote of the amazing event For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard when we were with him in the holy mount. It is therefore very significant that the word transfigured is also applied to Christian believers in 2 Corinthians 3.18.
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory. That is, as we behold the glory of Christ in the mirror of the Scriptures, we ourselves are being spiritually metamorphosed into His own image. The marvelous transformation will be completed when He does come again and change our vile body that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body.
