The Mountain of Glory

In Luke’s account of the Transfiguration, Jesus’ face shines with divine glory as Moses and Elijah appear beside Him. But their conversation reveals something deeper. They speak about Jesus’ “departure,” a word that literally means Exodus. In this moment, we see the true mission of Jesus. He is not simply heading toward death in Jerusalem. He is leading a new Exodus, delivering His people from sin, death, and the power of the devil.

The voice from heaven declares, “This is my Son… listen to Him.” The disciples glimpse a glory that will soon be hidden beneath suffering and the cross, yet it is the same glory that will burst forth from the empty tomb.

The Transfiguration gives us a preview of resurrection light and reminds us that the road to glory runs through the cross. Jesus leads the way as our true Deliverer.

Join us as we explore Luke 9:28–36 and discover how Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem is the greater Exodus that sets us free.
