Moving to Matthew chapter 17, we explore “the transfiguration of jesus,” a pivotal moment where God, as a cloud, audibly affirms “jesus christ” as His beloved Son. This short highlights God’s command to “listen to him!”, emphasizing the profound message for all who seek “faith.” This event, found in the “new testament,” offers deep insight into the divine plan and the role of the “holy spirit” in guiding believers.
Moving on to chapter 17, we first have the transfiguration.
