Read 2 Peter 1:16-18
In this letter, Peter seeks to remind us of the true message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He implores us not to fall victim to clever stories made by false prophets. Jesus will come in power and glory and Peter states with confidence that he, James, and John were witnesses to His glory on the sacred mountain. As one reads this it is easy to make the link to Peter’s sermon at Pentecost; “God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact. Exalted to the right hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.” (Acts 2:32-33)
Let’s pray for the Holy Spirit to speak truth to us, and listen carefully, so we never fall victim to any false teachings or false teachers.
