Mark 9 (NKJV)
:2- 13 Jesus Transfigured on the Mount
2 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. 3 His clothes became shining, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them. 4 And Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”— 6 because he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid.
7 And a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!” 8 Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves.
9 Now as they came down from the mountain, He commanded them that they should tell no one the things they had seen, till the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 So they kept this word to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant.
11 And they asked Him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
12 Then He answered and told them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming first and restores all things. And how is it written concerning the Son of Man, that He must suffer many things and be treated with contempt? 13 But I say to you that Elijah has also come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him.”

Definition of Transfigured: verb (used with object),-ured, -ur·ing.
1. to change in outward form or appearance; transform.
2. to change so as to glorify or exalt.
The Transfiguration revealed Christ’s divine nature. God’s voice exalted Jesus above Moses and Elijah as the long-awaited Messiah with full divine authority. Moses represented the law, and Elijah, the prophets. Their appearance showed Jesus as the fulfillment of both the Old Testament law and the prophetic promises.
Jesus was not a reincarnation of Elijah or Moses. He was not merely one of the prophets. As God’s only Son, He far surpasses them in authority and power. Many voices try to tell us how to live and how to know God personally. Some of these are helpful, many are not.
*Please note: TGN does not purpose to tell you how to live, this is your choice. The purpose of The Good News is to share God’s Word, help you to understand it and know Jesus.*
We must first listen to the Bible, and then evaluate all other authorities in light of God’s revelation.
This is a simple intro to these verses, I would like to give the Word more time to live with you. We will continue with part 2 tomorrow.
**********************************************************Daily Prayer: I receive Your Word into my heart today. Help me to remain persistent in my seeking of Your Word; for it is a good living presence in my life. And blessed are those who hear the Word of God and obey it. In Jesus’ Name, Amen (Luke 11).
What do I understand from this reading today?
Concentrate on bringing that to life today!
