2Peter chpt 1; WITNESS

The Preacher 3 Comments

Peter’s credibility as a WITNESS.

There are no witnesses today.

Majesty Witnessed on the Mountain. 16-18.

How does Peter qualify as a WITNESS.

Peter, as the other Apostles…

We Saw, Held. 16; 1John 1:1; 4:14.

The Apostles were promised the Holy Spirit…

Inspired because. John 16:13; Acts 1:8.

The Apostles saw and touched Him after the resurrection…

Touched Him. John 20:27. 1Jo 1:1.

We can tell they saw because of their boldness in the face of danger…

No Fear. Act 4:13.

Paul would later see the Risen Lord…

Eyewitness of Paul. Act 26:13.

They were given Signs to confirm the message was from God.

Signs. Acts 2:22; Heb 2:1-4

We can also tell they saw Jesus because they suffered to death…

Suffering. 2Peter 1:14; Act 4:20.

Mindful of words. 3:1-2; Jude 1:17.

Neglect not. 1:9; 1Tim 4:14; Heb 2:3; 12:5. Jas 1:24-25; Mark 8:14-21.

“I must put off my tent.”

As Jesus showed me.

John 21:15-19.

“Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.” 1:15.

What would you say to your children before you die?

Peter wants to…

the saints to give all Diligence to add to our faith for an Entrance into the Everlasting kingdom. And to Avoid false teachers. The Lord will come as a Thief and Heat will follow.
