I The Revelation of Jesus’ Identity

Now, after six days: [Verse 1]

  1. Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother

    2. It may surprise you to know this; but Jesus didn't treat all the twelve disciples equally. Among the twelve, He had a special relationship with these three and included them …

    • When He raised Jairus’ daughter from the dead - Lk 8:51
    • When He clarified the signs of the His 2nd Coming - Mk 13:3
    • When He was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane - Mt 26:36-38
      1. Jesus led them up on a high mountain by themselves
        • "Why does Jesus do this?  To rest and pray - Luke 9:28  They were weary from sleep” - Luke 9:32-33
        • Why does He take Peter, James and John?"
          • To serve as witnesses.  The Scriptures say, ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established' (Dt 19:15; Mt 18:16; 2 Cor 13:1). 
          • They were intimates of the Saviour
          • They were acknowledged trustworthy leaders. In Galatians 2:9, Paul refers to them as “pillars of the church”!

            • He was transfigured before them: [Verse 2]

            Transfigured = Metamorphoo = “To transform”

            Meta = “To change”     Morph = “Form”   English = “Metamorphosis” 

            Note: This was not a new miracle, but the temporary cessation of an ongoing one.  The real miracle was that Jesus, most of the time, could keep from displaying this glory.  Now, what had been concealed burst forth!!
