Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no one on earth could bleach them. And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, who were talking with Jesus. (Mark 9: 2-4)

In the synoptic gospels this is a hinge event. Hereafter the story moves from Galilee to Jerusalem and the crucifixion.

The Greek translated as transfigured is metamorphoo or to change in form.

The way of God is the way of change, growth, and transformation. We often turn to God asking for stability. God may provide what we need rather than what we want.
