Delving deeper into the Transfiguration story

Yesterday we linked to a short devotional summary of the Transfiguration story, which noted its significance in pointing to Jesus’ ultimate mission on earth. But that only scratches the surface of this fascinating account, and some of you are no doubt interested in exploring it further. If so, be sure to take a look at Richard Krejcir’s thorough study of the Transfiguration story at Into Thy Word.

It walks through every element of the Transfiguration, and asks a lot of questions that might not have occurred to you on your first reading: why did Jesus only invite Peter, James, and John? Why did Peter want to build a tent? How would you have reacted if you had witnessed Jesus’ transformation?

Take a few minutes to read through the study alongside with the Transfiguration account, and try and answer the discussion questions—or print them out and bring them to your next Bible study meeting.
