About our transformation…
Matthew
17:2 There He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his
clothes became as white as the light.
One
of the reasons Christ’s transfiguration or transformation was shown to the
apostles and now shown to us through their words is so we can understand what
life will be like for us in heaven. In addition, His transfiguration was shown
to us so we can know a little about the transformation which can take place in
us as we clothe ourselves in His humility while we are alive here on earth. When
we humble ourselves before God we are then given God’s grace, and within His
grace we are transformed. In our earthly life, we won’t be transformed like
Jesus was transformed on the mount that day. On earth, our face will not light
up like the face of Moses when we saw God moving away. However, when we humble
ourselves before God, we will change and people will see the change in us. When
we humble ourselves enough, the radiance of God’s love will show from within
us and people will notice the difference. When we humble ourselves enough,
people will see a difference in us like people saw a difference in Stephen when
he was brought before the Sanhedrin.
Acts
6:15 All who were sitting in the Sanhedrin looked intently at Stephen, and they
saw that his face was like the face of an angel.
