- Jesus and his disciples had retreated to a private place/mountain to pray Christians therefore should have retreats I go to a private place for prayer.
- Resurrection is a reality since Moses who died appeared in the transfiguration. Christians therefore should have hope for life after death.
- Moses and Elijah appeared to encourage Jesus about the suffering he was about to face. Christians therefore learn that they should accept/endure suffering as a way to salvation.
- Jesus came to do the will of his Father/fulfill the law/prophecies. Christians are ‘ assured of salvation/should believe in the word of God.
- The disciples heard the voice of God which commanded them to listen to Jesus. Christians learn that God speaks to them/they should listen to God’s voice / Jesus/the word of God.
