Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this message, Steve Gregg delves into the significance of Matthew 17:1-8 and 17:14-21, where Jesus momentarily changed his appearance in front of his disciples and was accompanied by Moses and Elijah. Gregg explains how this event shows Jesus as the spokesman of God and the fulfillment of the Old Testament law and prophets. He also notes the importance of listening to and following the teachings of Jesus, rather than solely relying on the Old Testament law. Overall, Gregg's study provides valuable insights into the symbolic meaning of the transfiguration of Jesus.
