Transfiguration

Jesus takes Peter, James and John to a mountain where he is transfigured before their eyes and they glimpse his divinity. The revelation of Jesus as God’s Don frightens the disciples at first, but Jesus reassures them. It was surely one of the peak moments in these apostles’ lives with Jesus. Such a clear vision of his divine glory would seem to have been enough for the apostles to remain faithful to the Master. But that was not the case. When faith became difficult, they forgot who he was and they did not listen to Jesus as the Father had commanded.           

Are we listening to the Lord? Do we believe he is God’s Son? – Ulses, Rev. Gene, The Wisdom of the Lord, Huntington, Indiana: Our Sunday Visitor, Inc., 1986, pg. 244.
