Jesus' transfiguration confused the disciples who first witnessed it, and
is still confusing for us today. What was happening there? What does it say about
who Jesus is, and how can we understand Jesus' mission better by witnessing it
ourselves? In this sermon, Aaron outlines how the transfiguration must be seen in
the context of Jesus' claims that he is headed to Jerusalem to die and rise from the
dead - claims which demonstrate that following Jesus will be both painful and
glorious.
