It’s All About Jesus

In Matthew 17:1-8 we learn about an event that is commonly called, "the transfiguration." It's a story that probably seems strange if you aren't familiar with it. But the transfiguration is like a prism through we which we can see the multifaceted glory of Jesus. It is the ultimate revelation who He really is. And in it, we also get a preview of what our lives will be like when we are all transfigured. In this message we learn three facts about the significance of the transfiguration:

1) God's Kingdom is a place of glory

2) The Kingdom is a place of resurrection and reunion

3) The Kingdom is all about Jesus

Our prayer is that this sermon will call you to a deeper understanding of who Jesus really is and why He is the only one who deserves our praise and worship. If it encourages you, please like and share!

I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.

After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 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. Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.” When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.
