Christ’s Transfiguration, and Our Own

Christ’s Transfiguration, and Our Own

Bart Byl on Luke 9:27-36.


Christ’s transfiguration on the mountain was a theophany: a revelation of his divine glory to Peter, James, and John. Incredibly, the glory of God is shining out of a human face. Jesus’ humanity is not an obstacle to his divine glory: on the contrary, it’s the vehicle for it. Like the burning bush that Moses saw, human nature burns with the divine fire but is not consumed. And therefore, this story in Luke tells us that our own humanity is not an obstacle to bearing the divine glory: on the contrary, it’s the vehicle for it. The transfiguration is the story of what we ourselves are becoming by grace, as God conforms us to the image of his Son.
