The Gospel of Luke 9:29-31 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering. And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.” (Luke 9:29-31 KJV).

These verses describe the Transfiguration of the Lord Jesus Christ, where, as He prayed, His appearance dramatically changed. His clothes became dazzling white. It is a momentous event showing the Lord’s divine glory. It is a fore shadow of His death and resurrection, and affirms His identity as the Son of God in the presence of His closest disciples. It displays the splendor of the Lord’s divine nature and the glory of His true identity, which will be fulfilled through His suffering and death.

The presence of Moses, who represents the Law, and Elijah, representing the prophets, affirms the prophecy of scriptures that the Lord’s true being shall be witnessed by the Law and the prophets. Here in this mountain of prayer, and witnessed by the disciples, the splendor of the Lord’s true being is revealed. They talk of the Lord’s upcoming death in the hands of the Pharisees, the priests and religious leaders; whose intent to get rid of the Lord Jesus Christ is being used by the enemy of our soul.

God's plan to save us is already set in motion to be fulfilled on the streets of Jerusalem. These remind us therefore, that our salvation is settled. We can have free salvation by believing, because He paid for it dearly with hefty price. It is written: “When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.” (Colossians 2:13-14 NIV).

And I say, AMEN!
