Keeping the Vision
Matthew places Jesus’ transfiguration between two of the times that Jesus told his disciples of his coming crucifixion.
The voice from the cloud repeats the proclamation at Jesus’ baptism, at the beginning of his public ministry.
He is well aware of what awaits him. He also knows who he is, God’s beloved Son. That will keep him focused on who he is, and his mission, of being the incarnation of God’s love and of bringing God’s salvation for the world.
