Incarnation (Life): Lives of Listening - Dave Teixeira

The Transfiguration in Matthew 17:1-13 reveals deep truths about Jesus’ identity, God’s redemptive plan, and true discipleship. It confirms that Jesus fulfills both the Law and the Prophets, demonstrating that all of Scripture ultimately points to Him. Moses and Elijah serve as powerful examples of those who found strength through time with God on a mountain. God’s command to “Listen to Him” calls Jesus’ followers to do the same—seeking strength through intentional time with Him. Ultimately, the connection between John the Baptist and Elijah highlights the pattern of suffering before glory, reminding us that God’s kingdom is not just experienced in mountaintop moments but must be lived out in a broken, fallen, and often adversarial world.
