Transfiguration Of Christ
By Mark Flippo
Matthew Chapter 17
1-And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
2-And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
3-And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
5-While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
The account of the transfiguration of Jesus Christ as recorded here in Mark (parallel passages are found in Matthew 17:1-3 and Luke 9:28-36) is a demonstration to three witnesses that Jesus Christ was who He claimed to be. In all three accounts of the transfiguration of Jesus Christ, we are given the names of the three disciples who accompanied Jesus and who stood as human witnesses to the glory that was Christ's. There were also three heavenly witnesses, Moses, Elijah, and the voice of God from heaven. Therefore, the Old Testament law of three witnesses required to attest to any fact (Deuteronomy 19:15) was satisfied both in earth and in heaven.
I have learned the power of three. When God is dealing with me in a dream or researching for a lesson, this fact is brought out over and over again. How many of you have experienced this Truth? If I have a question about something very important to me I will ask God to verify it by two or three witnesses. When it is Him He always does. Maybe if you have not tried this, pray sometime and ask God to confirm this Truth to you. His Word is True!
