The Christian faith is grounded in historical fact. The Transfiguration of Jesus is not a myth or fiction but is based on a factual event. Jesus radiated light, revealing his true divinity to Peter, James, and John. Parallels to other biblical events and figures such as Moses and Elijah are explained. We are reminded about the war against reality in the world and how God's Word transfigures our perception of reality. Pastor concludes by connecting the Transfiguration to the promise that the righteous, through faith in Christ, will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.
