HUMAN LIKE JESUS: INCARNATIONAL GLORY For most of the incarnation, the glory of God was hidden in Jesus. But at his transfiguration, the radiant glory of God was revealed to Peter, James, and John! Just a brief glimpse of the divine Savior who will one day return as the Triumphant King to bring his reign and make all things right.
