gospel shm be carefully compared wlththe accounts given by matthew and luke the stories bear uamls- takahle marks of truthfulness and marks account is nun an eyewitness rvter taken merely as an historical incident it proves the existence of a personal god that the und and father of jesus christ is the true god that jesusv is the son of god i an entirely unique sense and that all ills claims are true faith in christ jesus as the only son of god is built not upon theological or philosophical peculation but upon undlsputably attested historical facts the record ed facts about moses prove that when christians die they do toot cease to be and that they are not unconscious note carefully the exact force o the word transfigured the latter part of the greek word in this pas sage translated transfigured is the same in root as the word translated form in phll 2 6 1 there atw we see a transfiguration jesus put ting off the form or flxuiv of god and taking on the form or figure of a servant here we have the reverse of what took place in the incarnation the figure of a servant being changed into the glorious ap pearance of the son of god it things had been allowed to take their course jesus would have been itlorllled right then and there with the iftory which he had with the father before the world was tjno 17 5- but the work of redemption was hot yet accomp lished 4eph 117 heb 9
