The transfiguration of Jesus is a well known event in the ministry of Jesus for people with even a Sunday School level of Christian training. Jesus takes Peter, James and John with him to the top of a mountain and is transfigured before them so that he is shining with a light that is brighter than the sun. Moses and Elijah appear and have a conversation with him. A cloud envelops them all and a voice speaks out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!"
The question is, "What does this mean?" Why did this happen at this point in Jesus' ministry? What did it accomplish for these disciples? How does it fit into God's programs for Israel and the Church? What does it mean for us today? How should we respond?
