With the following text I’m going to further elaborate, possibly beyond what you might be comfortable with; starting with bridging the Transfiguration and the discourse Jesus had with 2 disciples on the Road to Emmaus. And then speak to how integral Moses’ life was to Jesus’ ; (relative to His work of deliverance and then being seen as the One who was Struck for our offenses). Here, on the Mount, you will see Jesus discussing how He was to fulfill ‘ The Law and The Prophets ’ in His death, burial, and resurrection . Then we look at the ‘ Road to Emmaus ’, after Jesus’s resurrection ; He joins 2 disciples leaving Jerusalem. The Scripture says that ‘ their eyes were holden that they could not know Him’.
