The Transfiguration
On 6 August the Church remembers the Transfiguration of Jesus.
The story is told in Matthew 17,
Mark 9 and Luke 9. The mountain may well have been one of the
three high spurs of Mount Hermon, which rises to 9,000 feet.
Jesus was suddenly transfigured
before Peter, James and John. His
face began to shine as the sun, his
garments became white and dazzling. Then Elijah and Moses appeared, but why? These two men
represent the Law and the Prophets of the Old Covenant, or Old
Testament. But both the Law and the Prophets found their true and final fulfilment
in Jesus, the Messiah. Elijah and Moses were handing on the baton, if you like.
Now God’s dwelling with mankind would depend on the New Covenant based on
Jesus’ death on the cross.
