NT Lesson 11

The glory of God is a theme of supreme importance in the Scriptures. When Jesus was incarnated as a man He set aside the glory He had always enjoyed at the throne of His Father and humbled Himself. He humbled Himself to take on the flesh of a man and humbled Himself even further to suffer and die as an innocent sacrifice for sinners. He was then exalted in His resurrection and ascension and today sits beside His Father interceding for His people. Yet the glory Jesus exudes currently was exhibited briefly to Peter, James, and John one day during Christ’s earthly ministry. He gave these three a vision of the coming glory of the kingdom that they never forgot. In this lecture, Dr. Sproul discusses the transfiguration.
