“He is changed in body, transfigured. And this is the english equivalent of
the original greek word metamorphao, where we get the word metamorphosis…In
that moment Jesus is recognizably himself, and yet totally altered. The
shroud of reality is temporarily lifted and Peter, James and John see Jesus
as he truly is. I think it’s really important we understand that Jesus
didn’t just suddenly start glowing all bright, but that the radiance, the
blinding white brilliance, the beaming bodily intensity that is so bright
that it actually makes his clothing luminescent, is his natural state. He
is light! Because he is himself all consuming light. What they are seeing
is his natural state, so what they see the rest of the time is a glory
hidden, only his human nature is visible…The rest of the time Jesus is
shrouded, his glory covered, radiance veiled, just as Moses had to be
veiled after he had met with the Lord.”
