A reminder for
today
For we were not
making up clever stories when we told you about the powerful coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ. We saw his majestic splendor with our own eyes when he
received honor and glory from God the Father. The voice from the majestic glory
of God said to him, "This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great
joy." We ourselves heard that voice from heaven when we were with him
on the holy mountain. (2 Peter 1:16-18)
Today is a public holiday here in South Africa. Very nice
indeed, because we get an extra day to the weekend. I hope you guys are well
and that you are growing in your faith. You have to admit that these verses are
amazing. Peter is reminding us that he walked with our Lord Jesus and what is
so awesome from his personal experience is that he saw the majestic splendour
of Jesus. Peter are not telling us about someone he heard of. He is telling us
about someone he knew personally.
If you think about it when these disciples were persecuted
and tortured they never denied Jesus. Why, because they knew who He was and
they knew what He was. Jesus is the Son of God and they heard God say this.
This testimony is an eye witness account of who Jesus was. You can read more
about that in the month’s book (Cold-case Christianity).
You see we are worshiping the only living God. We are
children of the creator of heaven and earth. There is no doubt in our hearts,
because like Peter we also have a personal relationship with Jesus that is
empowered by the Holy Spirit and through Jesus we have direct access to the
Father.
How amazing is this. How can anyone doubt? Live out your
faith and do not allow the enemy to silence you. Share the gospel as much as
you can, because nothing we do for the Lord is in vain.
I hope you have a blessed and amazing weekend. See you on
Monday.
Lord, thank you for all the proof you give us each day so
that there is no doubt in our hearts or minds.
We love you, Lord and we cannot
do this by ourselves. We need you, Lord. Please give us the strength and
courage we need to boldly testify for you. Let your kingdom come and let your
will be done. In Jesus name.
Have an awesome day, dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
