Matthew 17¹Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain, by themselves. ²And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became dazzling white. ³Suddenly there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. ⁴Then Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I will make three dwellings here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." ⁵While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud a voice said, "This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him!" ⁶When the disciples heard this, they fell to the ground and were overcome by fear. ⁷But Jesus came and touched them, saying, "Get up and do not be afraid." ⁸And when they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus himself alone. ⁹As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus ordered them, "Tell no one about the vision until after the Son of Man has been raised from the dead."

Why do you think Jesus only took Peter, James and John up the mount of Transfiguration?

What does the Transfiguration signify? What difference does it make that Jesus is depicted here as a (or perhaps "the") source of light?

What does it mean to you personally that Jesus is certified by Moses and Elijah?

How might you listen to Jesus more than you already? Where do you go and what do you do to listen to Him? Is there a difference between "hearing" Him and "listening to" Him?

Do you fear Jesus? Why or why not? Is it a comfort to you that Jesus might want to touch you and tell you not to be afraid?

Why do you think Jesus did not want the three disciples to speak of the Transfiguration until after the Resurrection?
