**Turn to 2 Peter 1:12
Recap:
New Series: 2 Peter
Addressing false teachers
Jesus isn’t coming back/no final judgment.
(Implication) Live however you want.
Peter writes: Jesus is coming back,..although we’re saved by grace, we should be DILIGENT in PURSUIT of GODLINESS.
🐢🐢
Last week: WHEN we’re SAVED, God gives us a NEW CAPACITY for GODLINESS…we have the power to live for him…as such we should BE DILIGENT.
—Pursuit of 8 things (V5-7)…(after salvation)
🐢🐢
Read text & pray (2 PT. 1:12-21)
🐢🐢
Intro:
(Q) How often do you think about or pray for Christ’s 2nd coming?
“COME LORD JESUS” is often a RESPONSE to something BAD or DUMB on news...
Babylon Bee —sadly prophetic
“Church of Satan DISTANCES self from GRAMMY’S”
Why is it a HALF-JOKING THING that RARELY SHOWS UP in our words or prayers?
Should cause us to be INTENTIONAL in GODLINESS & HOPEFUL in Christ.
Need:
This is why we need this text today: it reminds us that we should anticipate Christ’s coming because it is in fact a reliable promise that will be happening, and it should effect the lives we live!

2 Peter 1:12–21 (ESV)
Thought 1: A Final Push for Godliness
12 Therefore I intend always to remind you of these qualities, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have.
13 I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to stir you up by way of reminder,
14 since I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
15 And I will make every effort so that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things.
Tying back to last week, QUALITIES from V5-7
LAST WK…be DILIGENT to CONFIRM calling & election…
PASTORAL WORK = MINISTRY of REMINDER…EVEN WHEN DOING GOOD!
Preaching/teaching as MEANS of GRACE…preserving faith.
----
I’M biblically AUTHORIZED to ISSUE REMINDERS, and to remind you about things even if you’re doing a good job!
(V13-14) AS LONG as HE’S in the BODY, he’ll continue to remind.
BODY = GK.
“TENT/tabernacle” dwelling place.
NIV… “tent of this body”
This TIME in THIS BODY is only TEMPORARY…later we experience RESURRECTION BODY & new life!
Peter decided to ISSUE REMINDERS as long as he was around, because HE KNEW his DEATH was COMING…
JOHN 21— PETER’S MARTYRDOM… (NERO, 60’S A.D.)
**Consider how PETER went from a DENIER TO a DIE-ER
He went from denying Christ before servants to dying for Christ, even though he knew the time was coming!
-------
(V15) PETER TAKES END of life SERIOUSLY, COMMUNICATING TRUTH to next generation of Christians!
Last week: Christians “MAKE EVERY EFFORT” for GODLINESS.
This week: PETER “MAKES EVERY EFFORT” so that we would RECALL the things he taught.
2,000 YEARS LATER, we’re still recalling truth!!
EVERY GENERATION NEEDS TRUTH PASSED ON!
Transition: After a series of commands and admonishments, Peter is going to explain how his information is credible.
Look at verse 16.

Thought 2: The Glory of Jesus Christ
16 For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,”
18 we ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain.
NOT FROM GRAPEVINE or TELEPHONE GAME…FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCE!
(Q) How many of you have heard stories from someone & don’t believe because you didn’t see it & there were no witnesses?
Big fish, no pictures
Bigfoot?
Nick & gallon of milk
NOT MYTHS or LEGENDS when he proclaimed the “power” and “coming” of Christ...
**He was an EYEWITNESS to his MAJESTY!
Eyewitness to MAJESTY, “quality or state of being foremost in esteem, grandeur, sublimity, majesty” (BDAG).
**Word ALWAYS ASCRIBED to DEITIES in NT
-----
Referring to TRANSFIGURATION…Jesus’ INNER CIRCLE were the WITNESSES.
Jesus CHRIST was TRANSFORMED,,
his FACE SHONE like the SUN
and his CLOTHES became WHITE as LIGHT!
TRANSFIGURATION was a FORETASTE of the GLORY to COME…the INITIAL FULFILLMENT of the KINGDOM of GOD coming in power.
CAME as a HUMBLE, good TEACHER & CARPENTER…coming AGAIN as a CONQUERING KING!
🐢🐢
THINKING about the IMAGE we have of JESUS CHRIST …how often do we think of him in his glory/majesty?
How many saw the “HE GETS US” COMMERCIAL at the Super Bowl?
Not sure what their purpose was or how Christian the organization really is...
I’m GLAD that JESUS GETS US, and HE DOES...
He knows what it is like to be rejected
slandered
beat down in life
betrayed
He was tempted in every way we are, yet without sin…
for those “in Christ” this is a great source of comfort.
Bigger issue, while JESUS “GETS US”…WE OFTEN DON’T GET HIM.
NO LONGER the MAN on the CROSS, the suffering servant, the man of sorrows.
He was humble, but he’s also God…
B4 Abraham, I AM!
Forgiving sins
Claimed to be Son of God
Predicted death & resurrection
John in Revelation 1:
hair white as wool or snow
eyes like a flame of fire
feet like burnished bronze
voice like the roar of many waters
held seven stars in his hand
sharp two edged sword comes from his mouth
and his face was shining like the sun in its full strength!
Then, John fell down as dead!!
......We don’t “get him”
THIS is the GLORY PETER EXPERIENCED.
(V17) The Voice of the Father
Heavenly voice from the cloud, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (Gospels add “Listen to him!”)
(V18) Peter says WE HEARD THIS VOICE!
