The transfiguration was the instance I which Jesus suddenly showed his Divine Nature to his apostles on Mt. Tabor. Jesus appeared to a few of his apostles, Peter, James, and John, as his truly divine self. To the sides of Christ appeared Moses and Elijah, great and important figures in Jewish history. Moses represented the laws instituted by God to man, and Elijah represented the prophets which through God spoke to man. Jesus represented both these aspects, both instituting laws and speaking as an authority in God.
The apostles who witnessed the trnasfiguration were filled with divine inspiration to continue following Christ through hard times.
