Incomparable | Matthew 17: The Transfiguration | Jared Smith
Jared Smith
Explore the profound mystery of the Transfiguration in Matthew 17. Jared Smith unpacks this moment of “spiritual shock,” revealing its dual purpose. Witness how Moses and Elijah appeared to strengthen Jesus for His coming “Exodos” (death) on the cross, paralleling His agony in Gethsemane. Discover how this event was a miniature preview of the Second Coming, fulfilling Jesus’s promise that some disciples would “see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.” Finally, understand how this vision fortified Peter’s faith and how we, like Peter, can find the same assurance in the “more sure, prophetic word” of Scripture.
