The Son of man. The Lord of the harvest seen in a cloud of light, the manifest glory of the Lord which is ever resident within Him. Rev. 14:14 The Greek word used for white is leukos, originating from luke, or light. It is evident that the prayer of the Lord Jesus was fully answered. In His prayer He requested that the glory of the Lord, that is the Father Himself, once again enfold the Lord Jesus. The majesty of the Lord, which Jesus laid aside, in order to become the savior of mankind. John 17:5 It is little wonder then that He is seen here as one fully involved in the light of heaven. The true, eternal light, which He identified as His Father.
There is then, an even greater light than that which was manifest on the mount of transfiguration. While the fullness of the glory of the Lord was obviously denied Him as the Son of man, He was not without the Father, nor the light, which is God. 1 John 1:5 He was able to proclaim Himself to be the light of the world. John 9:5 That light makes known the difference between cleansing from sin and the continuance in sin. Those whose works are sinful not only refuse to come to the light, but hate it and reject it. Truth seekers are attracted by the light and enjoy it’s many benefits, for they are forgiven of all their sin. John 3:20.
From the report of the evidence of the glory of the Lord seen in the Lord Jesus on the mount of transfiguration it is evident that the human spirit can be filled, to a completion, with the light of the Father. We must constantly remind ourselves that Jesus was the Son of MAN, thus was identified with all, as one born of flesh and blood into this world. The wonders, the mighty display of the power of the Lord in His life seem to make Him to be one who is super human. He was not, for He was just as you and I are, an inhabitant of this world. Phil. 2:8.
His transfiguration revealed the glory which was resident within Him as a human vessel. He went through a metamorphose before their very eyes and suddenly His face was shining as brilliantly as the sun. Light was suddenly beaming from His face. He radiated with the light of the God of light. So intense was that light within Him that it also caused His clothing to be altered and it too shined with the brilliance of the glory of the Lord. Mt. 17:2 Luke recorded that He was in prayer at this time. That is a good key for us. If we want to see the glory of the Lord, then seek Him in prayer. He also stated that His whole appearance was changed. Luke. 9:29 Prayer will result in the revelation of the glory of the Lord.
