There are seven thunderous, history-shaking days in
the life of Jesus Christ—each one a towering summit in the landscape of time.
These aren’t just moments; they’re divine mile-markers that reveal who He is
and why He matters more than anything.
(1) His Birth was the day God wrapped Himself in flesh—when Heaven kissed earth and eternity squeezed into a manger.
(2) His Baptism was the day the Sinless One stepped into our mess, plunging into waters meant for us, standing shoulder to shoulder, identifying with sinners.
(3) At the Wedding at Cana, His glory cracked through the ordinary, as the Creator first demonstrated His power by turning water into wine and whispering of greater miracles yet to come.
(4) Then came His Crucifixion—the moment when love poured out in crimson streams to rescue the lost, turning history’s darkest night into humanity’s dawn of hope.
(5) His Resurrection was the day the grave got evicted, when death bowed low before the Lord of life.
(6) And His Ascension? That was the King’s victorious return to His throne—Heaven erupted as the Champion took His seat in glory.
But nestled between Cana and Calvary stands a moment
so dazzling it almost feels out of place: (7) The Transfiguration. In Matthew
17, Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up a high mountain. Suddenly—boom!—His
face shines like the sun, His clothes blaze white as light, and Moses and
Elijah appear, chatting with Him. Then the Father’s voice thunders from Heaven:
“This is My beloved Son… listen to Him.”
For one breathtaking moment, the veil is pulled
back. The disciples don’t just see the carpenter from Nazareth—they behold the
blazing King of glory. It’s a sneak peek of the Resurrection, a trailer for the
Second Coming, and a reminder that behind Jesus’ humanity pulses the full
splendor of God.
Why does this matter to us? Because just like those
wide-eyed disciples, we need the reminder: Jesus isn’t just relatable—He’s
radiant. He’s not just compassionate—He’s cosmic. He’s not just near—He’s above
all. The awe that gripped Peter, James, and John invites us into deeper wonder
and reverence. In a world where faith can feel flat or over-intellectualized,
the Transfiguration jolts us awake to God’s majesty, stirring worship and
humility.
The Transfiguration shouts that Jesus is far more
than a wise teacher or moral guide—He is the eternal Son of God, ablaze in
glory, worthy of our worship and obedience.
So may the Lord open your eyes today to see His glory—not just on the mountaintops, but in the valleys too—so that His light fuels your soul until the day you see Him face to face.
