The same could be said of the disciples of today, with the Transfiguration. They are so happy to be with Jesus on the mountain when they see light, glory, voices and promises. Jesus tells them not to count on such glory. And they don't understand. When they should remember his words down the road, they run.
Often scripture means different things to us at different times in our lives. We should realize that our understanding is constantly undergoing a transformation, a conversion, a translation. What we think now is bound to change. It has too. For understanding Jesus, being on his level takes a life time.
Transformation is the lesson of Transfiguration. It is not a one time occasion. It should happen every day of our lives.
