His clothes became dazzling white

"Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus...As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead."
Mark 9:2-9

The risen Lord desires to be seen in you. He seeks your flesh as a dwelling place for his perfect spirit such that he may live in you, guiding you, teaching you, loving you. If any disposition outwardly does not allow Jesus to be seen in you, the Lord is continuing to do his work.

The vision is truth-it is the promise, walk in faith and obedience to the will of God. No longer rest on your own skill, but rather rightly relate to God's will in each moment. There is no life except that of which Jesus Christ reveals in me.

The Lord knew that until he had risen from the tomb there would not be understanding amongst his followers regarding his transformation on the mountain. The Lord never hides the truth, it is more simply put that until we get into a proper spiritual relationship with the risen Lord, we do not understand him and his ways, therefore his word is difficult to interpret.

We must not make our minds up about a doctrine of God bur rather rightly commit ourselves to a personal spiritual relationship with the risen Lord Jesus Christ.
