What specific elements stand out, and how do they contribute to the overall experience? Beyond the Mountaintop: Transfiguration in Context: The Transfiguration in Matthew 17:1-8 takes place within a specific narrative context. How does understanding this context (e.g., Jesus' predictions about his suffering and death) deepen our interpretation of the event as a "Resurrection Preview"? Beyond the Mountaintop: Contextualizing the Transfiguration: In Matthew 17:1-8, the Transfiguration occurs shortly after Jesus predicts his own suffering and death. How does this context influence our understanding of the event as a "Resurrection Preview"? 2. Glimpse of the Future: Francis Schaeffer suggests the transfiguration offers a "preview of the resurrection." How does this event foreshadow the resurrection of Jesus and, by extension, the resurrection of believers? 2. Glory Revealed, Glory Concealed: The Transfiguration shows Jesus in his divine glory, yet veiled for the disciples. How does this tension between revelation and concealment shed light on the nature of God and our limitations in understanding it? 2. Glimpse of Glory: The Transfiguration describes Jesus being transfigured with dazzling light and Moses and Elijah appearing. What does this vision symbolize about the nature of Jesus and the future reality for believers? How does it differ from earthly glory and power? 3. Beyond Earthly Limits: The transfiguration transfigures Jesus' appearance. What does this transformation symbolize, and how does it challenge our understanding of physical limitations and human nature? 3. Conversation with Eternity: Moses and Elijah appear alongside Jesus, representing Law and Prophets. How does this encounter foreshadow the unity of God's plan throughout history and its culmination in Christ? 3. Echoes of the Book of Revelation: Francis Schaeffer connects the Transfiguration to the Book of Revelation's depiction of the resurrection. Explore relevant passages in Revelation (e.g., 21:1-4) and discuss how they echo the themes of transformation and new creation seen in the Transfiguration. 4. Witnessing Divinity: Peter, James, and John witness the transfiguration firsthand. How does their experience impact their understanding of Jesus and their faith? What can we learn from their reactions? 4. A Glimpse of Our Future: Francis Schaeffer claims the Transfiguration offers a "preview of the resurrection." What aspects of the Transfiguration support this claim? How can contemplating this future reality impact our present lives? 4. Beyond a Fairy Tale: Schaeffer argues against reducing the Transfiguration to a mere "fairy tale" experience. How can we avoid this pitfall and grasp the profound theological and existential implications of this event? 5. From Seeing to Believing: Peter, James, and John are overwhelmed by the experience. How does this reaction connect to the broader theme of faith in the New Testament? What challenges and encouragements does it offer for our own faith journey? 6. From Preview to Reality: How can we, as believers, live in light of the promised resurrection? How does understanding the transfiguration motivate us to live differently here and now? Living in Light of the Resurrection: How does contemplating the "Resurrection Preview" offered in the Transfiguration change our perspective on suffering, death, and the ultimate hope we have in Christ? How can we live in light of this reality?
