The Transfiguration

2 Peter 1:12-18 (NKJV)“For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth. Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you, knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my decease. For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.”

  • Peter is preparing to die
  • He wants others to know and share in what he was an eyewitness to
  • He was so impressed with what he saw that after many years it is still as clear to him as if it had happened yesterday
  • What he saw was not a cunningly devised fable
  • What he saw might have seemed to many as hard to believe, but was so real to him that he was willing to die instead of deny
  • What did he see?
