Radiating his glory from the top of Mt. Tabor, Jesus revealed to his closest friends that he was not merely a healer or prophet, but the Son of God Himself. Christ's skin and clothes illuminated, as the prophet Daniel had foretold: "The Ancient One took his throne. His clothing was bright as snow...One like a Son of man coming, on the clouds of heaven" (Daniel 7).
Today's feast celebrates this great event in the life of Christ. We are all called to witness this radiant love God has for his people and return "down the mountain" to share this good news! Jesus is Lord!
