I strongly believe the story of the transfiguration of Christ happened to embolden His disciples. The brightening of clothes, the appearance of the great prophets, the voice in the clouds and even the message given by the voice, all culminates into a lesson to reassure His disciples of His identity. It was all to their benefit.
Stretching the thought further, it brings to mind that the whole life of Jesus was actually lived for our benefit. From His birth to His death - He did it all for us. The Bible indicates that the disciples were frightened during the transfiguration, yet I believe their faith was increased.
Sometimes the handiwork of God in our lives seem frightening, delayed, isolated and even non-existent. But all that He does is for our benefit. Today, let us accept wholly, His work in our lives in order to obtain His blessings.
