The Transfiguration of Our Lord

Sermon

Christ is Prepared to Die for Us

Moses represents the Law and Elijah the prophets. In Jesus one greater than Moses and Elijah

has come and all the law and the prophets speak of Him (Lk. 24:47). The Transfiguration is the

confirmation of the arrival of the Messianic kingdom on earth. It is where heaven and earth

meet. It is a glimpse beyond the veil into the glorious kingdom of Christ. But suffering must

precede glory. Moses and Elijah speak of Christ’s exodus. By this they refer to what must be

fulfilled in Jerusalem, the brutal agony of the cross.
