When Jesus was transfigured his face glowed like the sun. The three disciples Jesus brought along are in awe and amazed. Psalm 104:2 says, \u201cThe Lord wraps himself in light as with a garment;\u201d The disciples knew the psalms well, did this verse come to mind as they saw Jesus shining so bright?  They are witnessing the true revelation of who Jesus is.  True God and true man - God-man who has come to deliver us all.  Then suddenly Moses and Elijah appear with them as a cloud (the presence of God) comes over the entire group and they hear the Voice of God, \u201cThis is My Son who I love.  With Him I am well pleased.  Listen to Him.\u201d Jesus is revealed as the Son of the Living God. God in the flesh who has come to earth to deliver us all. Why do Moses and Elijah appear?     1.    Both were devout followers of God     2.    Both had unique ends to their lives on earth     3.    Both went to Mt. Sinai     4.    Both heard God speak at Mt. Sinai     5.    But neither of them saw God\u2019s face.   But today, at Jesus\u2019 transfiguration Moses, Elijah, John, Peter and James all saw the face of God as revealed in the face of Jesus, the Living God. John 14: 8-9 tells us, \u201cPhilip said, \u201cLord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.\u201d Jesus answered: \u201cDon\u2019t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, \u2018Show us the Father\u2019?\u201d Jesus revealed Himself to them. He is the Living God, the Deliverer and He alone saves and He is our only Hope because apart from Him we have nothing. And then suddenly it is just Jesus and the 3 disciples. Jesus tells them not to tell anyone about what they have just witnessed until after His is risen from the dead.. (but they didn\u2019t understand what He was talking about or what He meant.) In summary, The Ten Commandments are brilliant, powerful and profound instructions from God, but they can\u2019t save us - they are like a curb, a mirror and a guide but they don\u2019t save us. In Jesus, the Messiah, are revealed grace and truth and He alone can save. He willingly went to the cross to bring us righteousness as He bore our sin on Himself.. A. W. Tozer says, \u201cThe only sin Jesus ever had was ours.  The only righteousness we can ever have is His.\u201d We are encouraged to follow the Ten Commandments, but that will never save us.  There\u2019s only Jesus, the Living God, The Living Word of God, The Word that became flesh who can do that!
