The Transfiguration Transcripts Part 2

Armodoxy for Today: One Minute for Summertime

Words that triggered the Transfiguration part 2

A set of conversations between Jesus and his disciples took place before the Transfiguration. This week we are looking at the sayings of Jesus as a preface to the Revealtion of God at this Event.

According to Matthew’s Gospel (16) Jesus asks his disciples, about the buzz on the streets of Jerusalem.  “Who do people say that I, The Son of Man, am?”

The disciples gave some interesting answers – “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

“But what about you?” Jesus asks. “Who do you say I am?”

This dialogue has been an ongoing one for two thousand years with people describing Jesus as a good man, a holy man, a teacher, a politician, a religious fanatic, or, as Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

People continue to dissect, analyze and try to understand Jesus. The important question has always been the same: What about you? Who do YOU say that I am?
