This day ends the Epiphany season and prepares us for Lent. Jesus has been revealing His true nature through His words and actions, and on the Mount of Transfiguration three disciples see His glory revealed as transfiguring light. Moses and Elijah appear with Him,
talking about His departure in Jerusalem. But our Lord then commands the disciples not
to tell about the event until after Easter. Because we live after His resurrection, Paul
writes in the Epistle, we recognize Jesus’ true glory in going to the cross for us, for God
has “shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face
of Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:6).
