A Glimpse of Glory
The famous preacher D.L. Moody told about a Christian woman who was always bright, cheerful, and optimistic, even though she was confined to her room because of illness.
She lived in an attic apartment on the fifth floor of an old, rundown building.
A friend decided to visit her one day and brought along another woman—a person of great wealth.
Since there was no elevator, the two ladies began the long climb upward.
The famous preacher D.L. Moody told about a Christian woman who was always bright, cheerful, and optimistic, even though she was confined to her room because of illness.
She lived in an attic apartment on the fifth floor of an old, rundown building.
A friend decided to visit her one day and brought along another woman—a person of great wealth.
Since there was no elevator, the two ladies began the long climb upward.
When they reached the second floor, the well-to-do woman commented, “What a dark and filthy place!”
Her friend replied, “It’s better higher up.”
When they arrived at the third landing, the remark was made, “Things look even worse here.”
Again the reply, “It’s better higher up.”
The two women finally reached the attic level, where they found the bedridden saint of God.
A smile on her face radiated the joy that filled her heart.
Although the room was clean and flowers were on the window sill, the wealthy visitor could not get over the stark surroundings in which this woman lived.
She blurted out, “It must be very difficult for you to be here like this!” Without a moment’s hesitation the shut-in responded, “It’s better higher up.”
She was not looking at temporal things.
With the eye of faith fixed on the eternal, she had found the secret of true satisfaction and contentment.

The Glorified Body of Christ
What is the meaning of this event?
I am suggesting a number of things.
What is the meaning of this event?
I am suggesting a number of things.
1.
In the first place, the transfiguration is the authentication of the Son as Messiah by means of the voice that came from the excellent glory.
While rejected by men, He is accepted by the Father and confirmed in His Messianic office.
The path to its ultimate glorious future passes by Golgotha’s brow.
2. In the second place, the transfiguration is the anticipation of the kingdom that is to come upon the earth.
In fact, it is a kind of prelude and pledge of it.
(S.Lewis Johnson - Bibliotheca Sacra)
Elijah & Moses in the presence of God’s Glory
mark 9.
What is the significance of Moses & Elijah?
The O.T. Giver of the Law who stood on Mt.
Sinai in the presence of the Glory of God, and the The O.T. Prophet who also stood on Mt.
Sinai in the presence of the Glory of God.
Jesus- the fulfillment of the Law & the Prophets!
Summary
Jesu
The Transfiguration is significant because it was the glorification of the body of Jesus.
Those with Him saw Jesus in His glory.
The appearance of Moses and Elijah testified that Jesus was the one of whom the law and prophets spoke.
The approving testimony of God the Father further confirmed the identity of Jesus.
In the Transfiguration of Jesus we have the various elements of the coming kingdom represented.
There is the glorified King,
1- those who will come into the kingdom through death,
2- those who will come into the kingdom through the transformation of their bodies at the rapture of the church,
3- those Jewish believers who will enter into the millennial reign of Christ in their earthly bodies,
4- as well as the people from the various nations who will also enter into the millennium in non-glorified bodies.
