Transfiguration Outline & Analysis

Jesus' transfiguration was when He truly showed himself as both Man and God. It is the second time that the Trinity is shown in the Bible. This is important because it clearly shows God's presence in the world. Christ's transfiguration strengthened the faith of His disciples. God was present in His voice, the Son in His humanity, and the Holy Spirit in the clouds. The apostles needed the transfiguration because they did not fully understand Jesus' divinity. But the transfiguration was not Jesus proving himself, but rather Jesus inspiring his followers and trying to help them understand His divinity.
