The answer is: Transfiguration

Luke 9:28-31

The Transfiguration, that incredible moment on the mountain, showcases the luminous power and divine nature of Jesus. Imagine this: Peter, James, and John jetting off to a high mountain—just them and Jesus—thanks to that dazzling invitation! While up there, the very essence of Jesus radiates as His appearance glows brighter than the sun. Legendary figures from their history, Moses and Elijah, join the scene to hold what you might call a celestial conversation with Him. It’s like the ultimate divine meetup, blending the Law and the Prophets in one astonishing event!

Here’s a trivia nugget: This event emphasizes the ajal sense of Jesus being the pivotal figure in bridging the Old Covenant and the New Covenant. And what a setting to reinforce that idea—with Moses representing the Law and Elijah standing for the Prophets, it brings together everything that had come before to herald what's beyond!

Adding a sprinkle of humor, can you picture Peter stumbling over his words as he says, "Let's build tents!"—probably youthful enthusiasm mixed with sheer awe! But it shows his eagerness to stay in this magical moment. The cloud that enveloped them and the voice declaring, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him!” acts as the divine mic-drop, confirming Jesus' stature. The Transfiguration, thus, isn’t just a vision but a peek into the divine plan and the brightness of hope that comes through Jesus, echoing powerfully across all ages.
