Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0055B recorded on June 3, 1979 teaching from Luke 9:28-36 – They Saw His Glory.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens explores the Transfiguration of Jesus as recorded in the Gospel of Luke, depicting it as a pivotal metamorphosis where Christ’s divine nature briefly eclipsed His earthly form. Stevens highlights how Jesus stood between Moses and Elijah, symbolizing His role as the ultimate fulfillment of the law and prophecy, while a heavenly voice commanded the disciples to listen to Him above all others. Pastor Stevens emphasizes that this radical change in Jesus’ appearance served as a reassurance of His coming victory over death, preparing Him for the suffering He would soon endure in Jerusalem. Beyond the historical event, Stevens calls for a personal spiritual transformation in the believer, urging his listeners to move past religious trivialities and be filled with the Spirit so that we might reflect God’s glory in a broken world.
