Is our trust in the right thing?
The Transfiguration is a remarkable Biblical event, and one that can be emphasized for various reasons. In this message, focus on the importance of how Jesus revealed to His disciples who He was, as they heard God's voice affirm Him. Through that, discuss with children how we can have faith to know that Jesus is Lord, and we can hope in Him with all our hearts.

Law/Gospel Theme: It is essential to our faith that Jesus was the true son of God, and that He lived and died for us. We want to be sure that we are following the right leader and putting our hope in something that lasts. Although we may not see Him with our eyes or hear His voice, we can trust in the work that Christ did, and know that He is our savior and redeemer. Believing in the Bible reminds us of His power and authenticity.

Bible Verses/story to Reference:
And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, 3 and his clothes became radiant, intensely white, as no one on earth could bleach them. 4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5 And Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” 6 For he did not know what to say, for they were terrified. 7 And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son; listen to him.” 8 And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only.

9 And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
