King of Kings and Lord of Lords

Jesus was transfigured on the Mount of the Ascension. He revealed His glory there but was not taken up to heaven then. Instead He began the substitutionary work of the Cross. The transfiguration was a turning point because prior to that time, His life was less threatened. After that time due to his death, burial, and resurrection & ascension He gave access to the Father and to heaven to all those who believe. He was the Son of Man, but also truely the Son of God.
