Metamorphosis of Glory

Matthew 17:1-5   
1 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; 2 and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. 4 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”  5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!”

Jesus was metamorphosised, changed and transformed to show His glory and the glory of the our bodies to come when we rise with Him.  We will reflect God's glory as we stand in His presence at last, reminding us of how it was in Eden when God walked among us!  As we behold His face we are being transformed in ever increasing glory until we see Him at last.  So we must hear the Son and embrace Him now. 

Psalms 2:12  Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.
