The Transfiguration of Jesus is a dramatic statement by the Father about His Beloved Son. This comes just days after Peter has first confessed Jesus as the Christ and then, almost immediately, rebuked Jesus, the Christ, for speaking of His death and resurrection. The transfiguration is the answer to that episode, God's word on Jesus to the most important disciples, James, Peter and John. When they see Jesus with Moses and Elijah Peter refers to Jesus as Rabbi. A rabbi expounds the word of God, the Law and the Prophets of whom Moses and Elijah are exemplars. In no uncertain terms, without ambiguity, God puts all things in order for these disciples. They should no longer be confused. Let's make sure we don't allow people to be confused by our witness of who is most important.
