Jesus, in his glory

When studying the transfiguration today, another moment of Jesus in glory came to mind...

Transfiguration: Matt 17:6 - Peter, James and John fell on their faces and were terrified
Revelation 1:17a "When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead"
Transfiguration: Matt 17:7a - Jesus touched them
Revelation 1:17b "But he laid his right hand on me"
Transfiguration: Matt 17:7b - Jesus told them to have no fear
Revelation 1:17c "saying, 'Fear not, I am the first and the last'"

Jesus, standing in his glory, loves to bless and to tell his followers not to fear.
