2 Peter 1:17

 

 

17 For [gar] he received [lambano] from [para] God [theos] the Father [pater] honour [time] and [kai] glory [doxa], when there came [phero] such [toiosde] a voice [phone] to him [autos] from [hupo] the excellent [megaloprepes] glory [doxa], This [houtos] is [esti] my [mou] beloved [agapetos] Son [huios], in [eis] whom [hos] I [ego] am well pleased [eudokeo]. KJV-Interlinear

 

 

17 For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an utterance as this was made to Him by the Majestic Glory, This is My beloved Son with whom I am well-pleased NASB

 

 

While on the Mt. of Transfiguration, Peter, James and John, all three heard a voice, which thundered as no voice they, nor anyone, had ever heard.

 

This was the voice of God the Father, giving them formal acknowledgement that this Jesus, was indeed the Messiah.

 

Matt. 17:5

5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him! NASB

 

Deut. 33:26-27

26 There is none like the God of Jeshurun, Who rides the heavens to your help, And through the skies in His majesty.

27 The eternal God is [my refuge] a dwelling place, And underneath are the everlasting arms; NASB

 

In this world all of the honor and glory attributed to people, is at best pale, shallow, subjective, biased, invented, made up for convenience, produced out of arrogance, ego, and approbation. After all, what person who consists of dust, with life and talent imputed by God into it, can boast of their inherent abilities (which do not exist).

 

Only God, and here, only the Son, possesses inherent abilities, even life, even eternal life, which never ends, and never had a beginning, and as such, is worthy of perfect honor and glory.Who can boast of a greater aspect of their life?

 

Peter was a witness of this formal acknowledgement of the Son, and by God the Father, no less. There is no other greater power, or authority which can make this statement, and carry the weight of unchallengeable truth.

 

And with this statement, Peter, and God through His word, places each one of us on notice.

 

We are nothing when it comes to our existence.As we are but a speck in the universe, but a speck in history, but a speck on this planet.

 

What is it then that makes man so wise as to reject the one and only creator and maintainer, of everything?Or to reject the one and only perfect plan for our eternal life, in favor of what?

End Of Lesson

Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth.
