Undoubtedly, the purpose of the transfiguration of Christ into at least a part of His heavenly glory was so that the “inner circle” of His disciples could gain a greater understanding of who Jesus was. Christ underwent a dramatic change in appearance in order that the disciples could behold Him in His glory.
Walang duda na ang layunin ng pagbabagong anyo ni Hesus ay upang ang tatlo Kanyang pinakamalapit na alagad ay magkaroon ng mas malalim at malawak na pangunawa kung sino si Hesus. Isang dramatikong pagbabago ang naganap sa Kanyang anyo upang makita Siya ng Kanyang mga alagad sa Kanyang kaluwalhatian.
