Commentary on Matthew 17:3
Moses and Elijah's appearance with Jesus reveals His divine nature and mission's continuity with Old Testament revelation. Moses represents the Law, Elijah the Prophets—together they comprise Israel's Scripture, both testifying to Christ. Their conversation about Jesus' 'decease' (Luke 9:31, Greek 'exodos'—exodus) in Jerusalem shows the cross as the ultimate exodus, liberating from sin. Reformed theology sees the Transfiguration validating Christ's deity and showing Old Testament Scripture pointing to Him. The glorified Christ prefigures His resurrection body.
