The transfiguration emphasized Jesus as the fulfillment of salvation motifs throughout the Bible. Motifs about the Messiah include Jesus as the: 1) redeemer - purchasing humanity from slavery; 2) creator - bringing life out of chaos; and 3) king - reigning over all. Every book of the Old Testament develops at least one of these three motifs until they are fulfilled in the the New Testament by the person and work of Jesus.
