"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"
Today's Bible Verse: 2 Peter 1:16 "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 eye witnesses of His majesty."
In Matthew 17 Jesus was temporarily glorified in the presence of three disciples. This was foreshadowing of Christ's coming in power and glory to establish His kingdom. The presence of Moses and Elijah was on the mountain represented all those who enter the kingdom by death or translation. The declaration of the Father reinforces Christ's dominion over His kingdom.
False teachers were claiming that Jesus resurrection and return, as well as the Holy Spirit indwelling of believers, were all cunningly devised fables. Peter in this verse countered their faith claims with eyewitness accounts. Peter himself had actually seen the power and coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. These are the twin themes of this letter: the power of Jesus available for holy living and the coming of Jesus as the glorious hope of each believer.
Since Christians live expectantly looking forward to the return of Christ, they ought to give Him first place in their lives today, just as He will have in the kingdom.
Today's Hymn: ""Almost Persuaded"
"Almost persuaded" now to believe, "Almost persuaded" Christ to receive
Seems now some soul to say, "Go, Spirit go Thy way, Some more convenient day
On Thee I'll call."
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, May the power of Jesus and the indwelling Holy Spirit help us to live our lives in daily praise to Christ and to give Him first place in our lives.
Amen
Today's Biblical Truth: "The Scriptures indicate that fruitful and faithful living will be rewarded by greater privileges and rewards in glory"

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go In Peace and Serve the Lord with Gladness. Love God More Today and always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T", God Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".
