1:16-18

Today's Scripture

There are a lot of stories going around about who God is. Muslims have a story; Mormons have a story; even people who think we can't know what God is like have a story about it. But Peter wants us to know, this isn't just a good story. Peter has seen the majesty and glory of Jesus firsthand. He wants us to know he is trustworthy to tell us the truth about God. The appropriate response on our part is to listen carefully to what he's going to tell us.

Study Questions:

1. What event is Peter referring back to in these verses?

2. What are some "cleverly devised stories" you often hear that are not true but people believe them?

3. Look up the word 'majesty' in the dictionary. Then think about what it means for Peter to have seen Jesus' majesty.
