The transfiguration as told by Luke

And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen. (Luke 9:36) **Sermon summary:** This sermon examines the Transfiguration account in Luke 9, emphasizing that the event serves as a divine confirmation of the Word of God rather than a model for seeking supernatural visions. The exposition highlights the centrality of prayer as the starting point for spiritual blessing and the necessity of viewing Christ through the lens of Scripture, where the Law and Prophets find their fulfilment in Him. The preacher addresses the disciples' human weakness and partial understanding, encouraging believers to trust in God's timing and to avoid pride or misinterpretation of spiritual experiences. The central message urges the church to focus on the preeminence of Christ, recognizing that when the voice of the Father declares the Son, all other distractions fade, leaving Jesus alone as the object of faith and obedience.
