Read Matthew 17:1-9
Transfiguration | Last Sunday of Epiphany (Year A)
The Transfiguration is that extraordinary moment when someone—or something—is seen for who they truly are, in all their beauty and glory. In Matthew 17:1–9, we discover that the Transfiguration isn’t about Jesus changing into something new. It’s about the disciples finally seeing Him as He already is. Transformation is about becoming—like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. But transfiguration is about revealing—it’s the unveiling of reality. It’s the moment we see Jesus not as we imagine Him, but as He truly is.
