Jesus had just told the disciples about his purpose on the earth - dying on the cross to redeem humanity. That idea was hard for them to grasp - and while it was still rattling around in their heads, Jesus took James, John and Peter up to the top of a mountain for -a foretaste of glory divine.- They would witness exactly what Jesus had just predicted- a glorified Christ.--As Jesus revealed his deity, he assured believers - then and now - that we too would share in that coming glory, but almost always after suffering. That's not our preference, but it should give us hope and a reason to remain faithful in spite of hardship and trials.
