“There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.” Matthew 17:2-3
The definition of transfiguration is “a complete change of form or appearance into a more beautiful or spiritual state.” This is the work of God in creating a new creature in Christ Jesus.
The disciples witnessed a moment of what heaven is like and saw the glory of God. The process of transfiguration takes place in all believers as you let go and seek the righteousness of Jesus.
You cannot live on the Mount of Transfiguration nor should you pursue it. However, you can be transfigured into the life and personality of Jesus while here on earth.
The fullness of God will come to you through your faith and obedience to the Son of God. Draw near to God through praise, prayer, and His indwelling Spirit. Let the Word of Christ live richly in your thoughts, words and actions.
Sin blocks the transfigured life so you must come before God with a contrite heart and a willingness to change your ways. God will never change so you and I have to change to live in closeness with God.
Thought for the day:
“I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly. When you hear My voice drop everything and come quickly to Me. I will show you the transfigured life and live with you forever.”
