WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.200 Okay, so as Graham said, we are back in our series on 2 Peter, to know and live out the truth. 00:00:12.259 --> 00:00:15.480 Okay, and this is the second part of the series. 00:00:15.580 --> 00:00:21.359 We had a little break last week for our church weekend, our church weekender. 00:00:23.059 --> 00:00:26.000 And I want to start with a question, okay? 00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:30.660 Okay, maybe a bit of a silly question, but I ask that you indulge me. 00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:34.480 As you may know, I'm used to talking to the kids up here. 00:00:34.899 --> 00:00:37.340 I normally have them all here, and it's a lot easier. 00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:40.920 I find it a lot easier to speak to them than all you guys sitting way back there. 00:00:41.060 --> 00:00:42.780 So do you have a bucket list? 00:00:43.060 --> 00:00:45.760 Okay, and this is not a list of all the different peels that you might have, 00:00:46.019 --> 00:00:49.760 or the Scots word for bucket, meaning bin. 00:00:50.060 --> 00:00:52.579 It's probably quite useful to have a bucket list, 00:00:52.579 --> 00:00:55.920 because there are so many different bins that we have to use nowadays, 00:00:56.179 --> 00:00:59.539 and, you know, all the different times that they have to go out. 00:00:59.979 --> 00:01:06.000 But yeah, a bucket list is really a list of things that you want to do before you kick the bucket. 00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:10.819 So are there things you really want to do before you die? 00:01:11.219 --> 00:01:17.219 Okay, and I wondered if you might indulge me and give a little bit of answers here. 00:01:17.219 --> 00:01:23.039 So I looked up on the internet, you know, a list, a bucket list, 00:01:23.379 --> 00:01:29.299 and I've found 10 things that seem to be the most popular things that people want to do before they die. 00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:32.239 And I'd say this is probably, you know, it's probably more younger people, 00:01:32.340 --> 00:01:35.759 and it's probably more American, being that I found it on the internet. 00:01:36.060 --> 00:01:39.659 Okay, what do you think I might have found on this list? 00:01:40.099 --> 00:01:41.420 What do you think I might have found on this list? 00:01:41.460 --> 00:01:42.319 What are the kind of things? 00:01:43.019 --> 00:01:43.680 Bungee jumping. 00:01:44.140 --> 00:01:45.239 That is one that's right there. 00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:46.339 Yes, bungee jumping. 00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:48.679 Skydiving. 00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:49.000 Yes. 00:01:51.479 --> 00:01:53.519 Wasn't there, but yeah, that is the kind of thing. 00:01:56.140 --> 00:01:56.899 Scuba diving. 00:01:57.219 --> 00:02:00.319 Okay, not in the top 10, but I'm sure it's further down there. 00:02:01.419 --> 00:02:02.019 Other things? 00:02:02.259 --> 00:02:02.840 What do you think? 00:02:04.199 --> 00:02:05.079 Yeah, you're right. 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:06.340 Swim with dolphins, it's up there. 00:02:09.340 --> 00:02:10.259 Not quite not. 00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:12.500 I think that's probably a bit too ambitious for most people. 00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.300 Yeah, there's certainly travelers on there. 00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:17.659 Yeah. 00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:19.640 Okay, let's have a quick look. 00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:20.379 Let's have a quick look. 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:20.920 What are the... 00:02:20.920 --> 00:02:21.800 I don't know if you can read that. 00:02:22.320 --> 00:02:22.820 Okay, so yeah. 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:23.600 Swim with dolphins. 00:02:23.900 --> 00:02:24.740 Learn a new language. 00:02:25.100 --> 00:02:26.000 See the northern lights. 00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:26.800 Bungee jump. 00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:27.980 Go on a cruise. 00:02:28.420 --> 00:02:29.340 Ride a hot air balloon. 00:02:29.480 --> 00:02:30.200 Go skydiving. 00:02:30.300 --> 00:02:30.840 Get married. 00:02:31.260 --> 00:02:31.920 Visit a volcano. 00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:33.420 See the Grand Canyon. 00:02:33.419 --> 00:02:36.419 Okay, these are the things that people want to do before they die. 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:39.619 And I came across this story just the other day. 00:02:40.619 --> 00:02:43.219 Somebody who left it quite late to go skydiving. 00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:47.659 Okay, this was a 100-year-old lady who went skydiving. 00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.739 But for some reason she thought, yes, I want to do this before I die. 00:02:51.279 --> 00:02:52.060 And she did. 00:02:52.419 --> 00:02:54.099 She said she wasn't going to do it again, though. 00:02:54.899 --> 00:02:55.419 She just... 00:02:55.979 --> 00:02:59.419 I think she was fine. 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:01.119 Yeah, but she didn't want to do it again. 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:06.060 So yeah, there are things that people want to do before they die. 00:03:06.140 --> 00:03:10.200 Now, why am I, you know, telling you all this? 00:03:10.900 --> 00:03:14.780 It's because Peter, in verse 14 here, 00:03:15.539 --> 00:03:21.360 tells us that he knows he's going to soon die. 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:22.140 Okay? 00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:27.219 Because I know that I will soon put it aside 00:03:27.540 --> 00:03:31.060 as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. 00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:32.120 He's talking about his life. 00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:34.840 He knows he's going to die soon. 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:36.780 So what is he going to do? 00:03:37.340 --> 00:03:41.680 What are the things that he wants to get done before he dies? 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:48.000 Well, writing this letter is one of the big things that he wants to do. 00:03:48.659 --> 00:03:52.980 And this letter Peter wrote is really his final statement to the church, 00:03:52.979 --> 00:03:58.340 reminding them of the truth and countering various accusations 00:03:58.340 --> 00:04:02.319 that were leveled against the apostles' teachings at the time. 00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:03.459 Okay? 00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:09.019 And I'm sure you won't be surprised that we too need these same reminders. 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:10.479 Okay? 00:04:10.620 --> 00:04:17.800 To the very same truth that Peter was reminding his readers at the time. 00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:18.960 Okay? 00:04:19.020 --> 00:04:25.579 And the same accusations that the apostles faced then are still around today. 00:04:26.660 --> 00:04:30.540 So I wonder, if you knew you were soon going to die, 00:04:31.540 --> 00:04:33.580 what would you want to do? 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:36.319 Or what would you want to say to people? 00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:40.939 What legacy would you want to leave? 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:42.699 Okay? 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.560 And Alistair kicked off our series, like I said, two weeks ago, 00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:50.560 looking at the first 11 verses and summed them up with this sentence. 00:04:52.659 --> 00:04:56.579 And I thought it would be right for me to remind you of this. 00:04:56.620 --> 00:04:59.879 And that's a word that you're going to hear a lot tonight. 00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:05.740 Okay, so this is how he summed up the first part of the letter. 00:05:06.659 --> 00:05:10.519 Because God has given us everything we need for a godly life, 00:05:10.939 --> 00:05:14.579 we must make every effort to live a godly life 00:05:14.579 --> 00:05:18.800 in order to confirm our calling and election. 00:05:19.939 --> 00:05:23.279 Our salvation is a gift from God. 00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:24.839 It all comes from him. 00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:31.000 And we, in return, we need to respond to God's gift of salvation 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:33.759 and grow in his love 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:38.519 so that we won't end up being ineffective and unproductive. 00:05:39.379 --> 00:05:43.899 This was one of the things Peter wanted to remind his readers about. 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:48.559 Even though, as he goes on to say in verse 12, 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:54.000 they knew this truth and they were firmly established in it. 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.079 And I suspect that is the case for most of us here tonight. 00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:00.000 We know the truth of the gospel 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.160 and we're probably pretty firmly established in it. 00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:06.500 But we still need to be reminded. 00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:10.019 It seems to be human nature 00:06:10.019 --> 00:06:14.560 that we so easily forget all that God has done for us. 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:18.420 So tonight I hope that we will all be reminded 00:06:18.420 --> 00:06:24.519 of the great truth of the gospel. 00:06:25.980 --> 00:06:28.439 And in this section we're looking at this evening, 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:31.300 I think the main reminder is 00:06:31.300 --> 00:06:33.840 that we need to remember 00:06:33.840 --> 00:06:37.500 we can trust God's word. 00:06:37.500 --> 00:06:42.399 Jesus will return in power. 00:06:43.579 --> 00:06:46.540 Remember, we can trust God's word. 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.800 Jesus will return in power. 00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:54.040 Okay, we can trust God's word. 00:06:54.100 --> 00:06:56.279 We can trust God's word spoken through Jesus, 00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:59.120 through the apostles and through the prophets. 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:03.800 And for us, that means we can trust the Bible. 00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:12.620 Peter was trusting Jesus's words in verse 14 00:07:12.620 --> 00:07:17.920 when he said that he knew he was soon going to die. 00:07:19.019 --> 00:07:22.620 Okay, if we look in John chapter 21, 00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:24.259 this is what it says. 00:07:24.259 --> 00:07:29.620 This is when Jesus had appeared after his death. 00:07:29.699 --> 00:07:32.639 He'd come to Peter and he was really restoring Peter. 00:07:33.579 --> 00:07:35.219 You know, Peter had denied him three times 00:07:35.219 --> 00:07:38.159 and Jesus says to ask Peter, 00:07:38.599 --> 00:07:39.659 you know, do you love me? 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:41.680 You know, feed my sheep. 00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:43.699 Okay, and then this is what he goes on to say. 00:07:43.819 --> 00:07:45.779 Jesus said, feed my sheep. 00:07:46.180 --> 00:07:47.500 Very truly, I tell you, 00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:48.699 when you were younger, 00:07:48.899 --> 00:07:51.199 you dressed yourself and went where you wanted. 00:07:51.620 --> 00:07:53.159 But when you are old, 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:55.520 you will stretch out your hands 00:07:55.520 --> 00:07:57.060 and someone else will dress you 00:07:57.060 --> 00:07:59.300 and lead you where you do not want to go. 00:08:00.260 --> 00:08:02.720 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death 00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:04.640 by which Peter would glorify God. 00:08:05.280 --> 00:08:07.420 Then he said to him, follow me. 00:08:08.540 --> 00:08:10.760 And Peter lived by Jesus's words. 00:08:11.180 --> 00:08:13.840 He trusted Jesus with his life and his death. 00:08:15.460 --> 00:08:17.360 And as his circumstances changed, 00:08:18.200 --> 00:08:22.220 he was aware his time has now come. 00:08:22.220 --> 00:08:24.220 And he wants to remind the church 00:08:24.220 --> 00:08:25.980 to keep following the truth. 00:08:26.380 --> 00:08:29.020 And he needs to deal with some of the false accusations 00:08:29.020 --> 00:08:30.620 that are going around. 00:08:31.760 --> 00:08:34.580 In verse 16, we... 00:08:34.580 --> 00:08:41.680 In verse 16, we see this first accusation 00:08:41.680 --> 00:08:44.399 that Peter deals with in his letter. 00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:49.740 So verse 16 says this, 00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:53.360 For we did not follow cleverly devised stories 00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:55.519 when we told you about the coming 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:57.879 of our Lord Jesus Christ in power. 00:08:58.620 --> 00:09:02.279 But we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 00:09:02.819 --> 00:09:06.019 So the accusation is that Peter and the other apostles 00:09:06.019 --> 00:09:08.419 have just made all this stuff up 00:09:08.419 --> 00:09:11.139 about Jesus coming back again. 00:09:11.139 --> 00:09:14.059 It's just a cleverly devised story. 00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:17.639 But Peter is clear that it's not the case. 00:09:18.059 --> 00:09:19.399 And he lets his readers know 00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:22.139 that he and others were eyewitnesses 00:09:22.860 --> 00:09:24.259 to Jesus's majesty. 00:09:25.299 --> 00:09:27.220 And they even heard a voice from heaven 00:09:27.220 --> 00:09:29.220 confirming who Jesus was. 00:09:30.059 --> 00:09:32.139 He is, of course, referring to the transfiguration, 00:09:32.139 --> 00:09:37.879 which is recorded for us in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. 00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:44.279 So let's now remind ourselves of the transfiguration. 00:09:44.539 --> 00:09:46.179 Let's read Mark chapter 9. 00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:53.039 You'll find this in the Pew Bibles on page 1012. 00:09:54.620 --> 00:09:57.639 So yeah, Mark chapter 9, starting at verse 2. 00:09:58.819 --> 00:10:01.539 Page 1012 in the Pew Bibles. 00:10:02.139 --> 00:10:02.980 Okay. 00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:11.399 After six days, Jesus took Peter, James, and John with him 00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:13.600 and led them up a high mountain 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.139 where they were all alone. 00:10:17.100 --> 00:10:19.360 There he was transfigured before them. 00:10:19.939 --> 00:10:21.939 His clothes became dazzling white, 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.740 whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:29.600 And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses 00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:31.639 who were talking with Jesus. 00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:34.040 Peter said to Jesus, 00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:36.519 Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. 00:10:37.460 --> 00:10:38.960 Let us put up three shelters, 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.519 one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah. 00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:44.840 He did not know what to say. 00:10:45.379 --> 00:10:47.379 They were so frightened. 00:10:47.379 --> 00:10:50.620 Then a cloud appeared and covered them, 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:52.639 and a voice came from the cloud. 00:10:53.139 --> 00:10:55.620 This is my son whom I love. 00:10:56.340 --> 00:10:57.679 Listen to him. 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:00.860 Suddenly, when they looked around, 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:04.700 they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus. 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.340 As they were coming down the mountain, 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:09.820 Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone 00:11:09.820 --> 00:11:12.879 what they had seen until the Son of Man 00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:15.320 had risen from the dead. 00:11:16.280 --> 00:11:18.879 They kept the matter to themselves, 00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:23.320 discussing what rising from the dead meant. 00:11:24.680 --> 00:11:27.379 So, why the transfiguration? 00:11:28.660 --> 00:11:33.080 Peter was witness to many of Jesus' miracles. 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.980 He saw Jesus when he appeared again 00:11:35.980 --> 00:11:37.700 after his resurrection, 00:11:38.180 --> 00:11:41.480 and he was witness to Jesus' ascension, 00:11:41.980 --> 00:11:44.980 where he went back up to heaven. 00:11:45.620 --> 00:11:47.740 So, why out of all of these things 00:11:47.740 --> 00:11:49.360 that he could have chosen, 00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:52.300 why does he choose to reference the transfiguration? 00:11:53.460 --> 00:11:56.400 I think it's because this is the one time 00:11:56.400 --> 00:12:00.800 that Peter saw Jesus as he truly is. 00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:04.579 Jesus wasn't just a man. 00:12:06.539 --> 00:12:09.240 Jesus was also God. 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:14.459 And Peter saw Jesus in his majestic glory, 00:12:15.079 --> 00:12:18.359 as we all will one day, 00:12:19.379 --> 00:12:20.979 whether we're trusting in him or not. 00:12:22.019 --> 00:12:23.459 For those of us who are saved 00:12:23.459 --> 00:12:24.939 through Jesus' death and resurrection, 00:12:25.259 --> 00:12:27.039 it will be a wonderful day. 00:12:28.539 --> 00:12:29.759 For those who are not, 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:32.319 it will be a terrible day of reckoning. 00:12:33.439 --> 00:12:34.500 And last weekend, 00:12:35.220 --> 00:12:36.860 with Jonathan Lamb, 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:39.059 it was a great reminder 00:12:39.059 --> 00:12:41.000 of how we should be living 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:42.600 in light of Jesus' return. 00:12:43.939 --> 00:12:44.919 Okay, if you weren't there, 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:47.000 or you haven't seen the videos yet, 00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:48.639 it's very easy to watch them 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:50.019 on our YouTube channel, 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:52.059 and I would recommend that you do that 00:12:52.059 --> 00:12:52.860 if you haven't seen them. 00:12:52.860 --> 00:12:55.600 It's a great reminder 00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:58.039 that Jesus is coming back, 00:12:58.659 --> 00:12:59.360 and a great reminder 00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:00.500 of how we should be living 00:13:00.500 --> 00:13:01.680 in light of that. 00:13:03.419 --> 00:13:04.279 Peter also 00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:07.820 tells us that he heard God's voice. 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:10.060 And this is what the voice said. 00:13:10.139 --> 00:13:10.279 It said, 00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:11.340 this is my son, 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:12.460 whom I love. 00:13:12.980 --> 00:13:13.700 With him, 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:16.080 I am well pleased. 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:20.100 God the Father 00:13:20.100 --> 00:13:21.000 is confirming 00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:22.840 that Jesus is his son, 00:13:23.280 --> 00:13:24.420 and that he loves him, 00:13:24.680 --> 00:13:26.160 and that he approves 00:13:26.160 --> 00:13:27.360 of what he is doing. 00:13:27.940 --> 00:13:29.220 This was a crucial time 00:13:29.220 --> 00:13:29.900 for the disciples, 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:31.720 as Jesus had just started 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:32.540 telling them 00:13:32.540 --> 00:13:34.800 of his coming death. 00:13:35.540 --> 00:13:37.540 And they needed the reassurance, 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:39.000 or the reminder, 00:13:39.820 --> 00:13:41.600 that Jesus was on the right path, 00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:43.519 and they could trust him 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:44.980 and follow him. 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:47.960 But, 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:51.040 why should we believe Peter 00:13:51.040 --> 00:13:53.300 when he claims these things? 00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:55.100 Well, 00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:56.060 first of all, 00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:58.580 there are three witnesses 00:13:58.580 --> 00:13:59.800 to the transfiguration. 00:14:00.620 --> 00:14:01.820 It wasn't just Peter 00:14:01.820 --> 00:14:05.320 that witnessed this. 00:14:05.700 --> 00:14:06.420 And the same goes 00:14:06.420 --> 00:14:07.879 for most of the miracles 00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:09.460 and the miraculous events 00:14:09.460 --> 00:14:10.139 in the Bible. 00:14:10.139 --> 00:14:12.299 Many different people 00:14:12.299 --> 00:14:14.240 claim to have seen Jesus alive 00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:15.220 after his death. 00:14:16.539 --> 00:14:17.699 It wasn't just Peter. 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:19.980 And when the New Testament 00:14:19.980 --> 00:14:20.679 was written, 00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:22.379 many of these witnesses 00:14:22.379 --> 00:14:24.779 would still have been alive. 00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:27.659 This stands in stark contrast 00:14:27.659 --> 00:14:28.799 to other religions, 00:14:29.419 --> 00:14:31.199 where there will only be 00:14:31.199 --> 00:14:32.100 one witness 00:14:32.100 --> 00:14:34.360 to the supposed miracle 00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:36.500 or message from God. 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:38.559 Take Islam, for example. 00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:41.119 Muhammad was the only one 00:14:41.119 --> 00:14:42.559 to witness the angel Gabriel 00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:43.699 speaking to him 00:14:43.699 --> 00:14:45.059 and telling him 00:14:45.059 --> 00:14:46.779 what to write in the Quran. 00:14:47.839 --> 00:14:48.819 Or Mormonism. 00:14:49.500 --> 00:14:50.199 Joseph Smith, 00:14:50.779 --> 00:14:52.059 he was the only one 00:14:52.059 --> 00:14:55.019 who was able to translate 00:14:55.019 --> 00:14:56.759 the golden plates 00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:57.979 which the Book of Mormon 00:14:57.979 --> 00:14:59.219 supposedly came from. 00:15:01.059 --> 00:15:02.939 Christianity stands apart 00:15:02.940 --> 00:15:04.860 in that it has 00:15:04.860 --> 00:15:06.580 multiple witnesses 00:15:06.580 --> 00:15:08.140 to its miraculous events. 00:15:11.660 --> 00:15:13.080 Okay, another reason 00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:15.620 that we have to trust 00:15:15.620 --> 00:15:16.560 the accounts in the Bible, 00:15:17.380 --> 00:15:18.820 particularly around the apostles, 00:15:19.820 --> 00:15:22.420 is just how unflattering 00:15:22.420 --> 00:15:24.300 the records are 00:15:24.300 --> 00:15:25.120 about them. 00:15:26.160 --> 00:15:26.860 And Peter, 00:15:27.220 --> 00:15:27.780 especially, 00:15:27.779 --> 00:15:29.579 comes off rather badly. 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:31.759 He is the one 00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:33.159 who all too often 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:34.360 sticks his foot in it. 00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:36.639 In his rush to be first, 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:38.319 he often does 00:15:38.319 --> 00:15:39.919 or says the wrong thing. 00:15:41.259 --> 00:15:42.740 Even in the transfiguration, 00:15:42.959 --> 00:15:43.500 he manages 00:15:43.500 --> 00:15:44.759 to make a bit of a fool 00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:45.419 out of himself. 00:15:45.779 --> 00:15:46.379 We see that 00:15:46.379 --> 00:15:46.919 in 00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:50.240 verse 6, 00:15:50.779 --> 00:15:52.240 verse 5 and 6. 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:52.480 You know, 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:53.360 he blurts out this 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:54.159 sentence, 00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:54.559 Rabbi, 00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:55.980 it is good for us 00:15:55.980 --> 00:15:56.500 to be here. 00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:57.199 Let us put up 00:15:57.199 --> 00:15:57.759 three shelters, 00:15:57.860 --> 00:15:58.379 one for you, 00:15:58.579 --> 00:15:59.079 one for Moses 00:15:59.079 --> 00:15:59.919 and one for Elijah. 00:16:01.179 --> 00:16:02.139 And then we're told 00:16:02.139 --> 00:16:04.199 why he said this. 00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:05.779 He did not know 00:16:05.779 --> 00:16:06.579 what to say 00:16:06.579 --> 00:16:07.860 because they were 00:16:07.860 --> 00:16:08.419 so frightened. 00:16:09.779 --> 00:16:09.959 Okay, 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:11.179 does that seem to you 00:16:11.179 --> 00:16:12.579 like a cleverly 00:16:12.579 --> 00:16:13.980 devised story? 00:16:15.019 --> 00:16:15.219 Okay, 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:15.659 it doesn't 00:16:15.659 --> 00:16:16.600 to me. 00:16:18.139 --> 00:16:18.519 And throughout 00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:19.039 the Gospels, 00:16:19.199 --> 00:16:20.299 you get the same thing 00:16:20.299 --> 00:16:20.939 with the other 00:16:20.939 --> 00:16:21.720 apostles too. 00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:23.259 They argue 00:16:23.259 --> 00:16:24.860 they often 00:16:24.860 --> 00:16:25.759 get things wrong. 00:16:26.980 --> 00:16:27.200 Okay, 00:16:27.340 --> 00:16:28.019 they often 00:16:28.019 --> 00:16:28.960 had little faith. 00:16:29.939 --> 00:16:30.919 They got scared 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:32.299 and they ran 00:16:32.299 --> 00:16:32.860 away. 00:16:35.139 --> 00:16:36.179 Does that seem 00:16:36.179 --> 00:16:37.159 like a cleverly 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:38.019 devised story 00:16:38.019 --> 00:16:39.639 to you? 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:42.259 Okay, 00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:43.679 I don't think 00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:44.179 it's what we 00:16:44.179 --> 00:16:45.100 would come up with 00:16:45.100 --> 00:16:46.899 if we 00:16:46.899 --> 00:16:47.840 wanted to be 00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:48.700 the new leaders 00:16:48.700 --> 00:16:49.539 of a new 00:16:49.539 --> 00:16:50.139 movement. 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:52.620 Surely you would 00:16:52.620 --> 00:16:53.019 want to make 00:16:53.019 --> 00:16:53.539 yourself out 00:16:53.539 --> 00:16:55.939 to be better 00:16:55.939 --> 00:16:57.299 than you really 00:16:57.299 --> 00:16:57.579 are. 00:16:57.659 --> 00:16:57.879 You would 00:16:57.879 --> 00:16:58.980 want to look 00:16:58.980 --> 00:16:59.659 like the kind 00:16:59.659 --> 00:17:00.199 of leader 00:17:00.199 --> 00:17:01.220 worth following 00:17:01.220 --> 00:17:02.620 so you could 00:17:02.620 --> 00:17:03.220 take over the 00:17:03.220 --> 00:17:03.620 mantle 00:17:03.620 --> 00:17:05.299 from your leader 00:17:05.299 --> 00:17:06.019 who is gone. 00:17:08.900 --> 00:17:09.619 But I guess 00:17:09.619 --> 00:17:10.059 it is 00:17:10.059 --> 00:17:11.359 possible 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:12.660 that the 00:17:12.660 --> 00:17:13.160 apostles could 00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:13.400 have all 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:14.000 gotten together 00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:14.900 and fabricated 00:17:14.900 --> 00:17:15.519 a story 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:16.359 about their 00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:16.879 leader coming 00:17:16.879 --> 00:17:17.619 back to life 00:17:17.619 --> 00:17:18.700 just so they 00:17:18.700 --> 00:17:20.019 could keep 00:17:20.019 --> 00:17:20.599 his following 00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:21.160 going 00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:23.400 and even 00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:23.940 said that he 00:17:23.940 --> 00:17:24.440 was going 00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:24.700 to come 00:17:24.700 --> 00:17:25.339 back again. 00:17:26.879 --> 00:17:27.839 It's possible 00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:28.839 but I think 00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:29.400 there is good 00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:30.420 reason to 00:17:30.420 --> 00:17:30.940 doubt that 00:17:30.940 --> 00:17:31.319 that could 00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:31.799 have happened. 00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:33.379 There's a 00:17:33.379 --> 00:17:34.039 famous quote 00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:34.879 about the 00:17:34.879 --> 00:17:35.400 authenticity 00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:36.000 of the 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:36.500 resurrection. 00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:38.579 And I've 00:17:38.579 --> 00:17:38.980 been aware 00:17:38.980 --> 00:17:39.500 of this quote 00:17:39.500 --> 00:17:40.299 for quite 00:17:40.299 --> 00:17:40.920 some time 00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:41.339 but it's 00:17:41.339 --> 00:17:41.660 only very 00:17:41.660 --> 00:17:42.079 recently 00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:42.660 that I 00:17:42.660 --> 00:17:43.099 learned about 00:17:43.099 --> 00:17:43.519 the man 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:43.960 who said 00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:44.180 it. 00:17:44.180 --> 00:17:45.700 it's about 00:17:45.700 --> 00:17:46.400 Watergate 00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:47.940 which is the 00:17:47.940 --> 00:17:48.860 original scandal 00:17:48.860 --> 00:17:50.539 that had 00:17:50.539 --> 00:17:51.400 this word 00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:52.519 gate in it

baptisms are 00:21:56.500 --> 00:21:57.059 so great. 00:21:58.380 --> 00:21:59.259 To hear 00:21:59.259 --> 00:21:59.940 people's 00:21:59.940 --> 00:22:00.820 testimonies, 00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:01.860 to see them 00:22:01.860 --> 00:22:02.440 want to 00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:03.400 proclaim that 00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:03.799 they are now 00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:04.380 followers of 00:22:04.380 --> 00:22:04.920 Jesus and 00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:06.180 to tell us 00:22:06.180 --> 00:22:08.500 how God 00:22:08.500 --> 00:22:09.340 has transformed 00:22:09.340 --> 00:22:10.120 their lives. 00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:12.019 It's good 00:22:12.019 --> 00:22:13.019 to be reminded 00:22:13.019 --> 00:22:14.680 of the 00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:15.680 transformational 00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:17.140 power of 00:22:17.140 --> 00:22:17.720 God's words. 00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:22.440 So yes, 00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:22.779 we can 00:22:22.779 --> 00:22:23.460 remember, 00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:25.180 sorry, 00:22:25.500 --> 00:22:26.059 we remember, 00:22:26.180 --> 00:22:26.839 we can trust 00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:27.380 God's word. 00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:28.620 Jesus will 00:22:28.620 --> 00:22:29.079 return in 00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:29.319 power. 00:22:30.059 --> 00:22:31.160 The apostles 00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:32.860 didn't make 00:22:32.860 --> 00:22:33.180 it up. 00:22:35.420 --> 00:22:35.940 So, 00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:36.680 what about 00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:37.259 the rest of 00:22:37.259 --> 00:22:37.600 the Bible 00:22:37.600 --> 00:22:37.900 then? 00:22:38.940 --> 00:22:39.480 Peter goes 00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:40.059 on to say 00:22:40.059 --> 00:22:41.100 in the last 00:22:41.100 --> 00:22:41.880 chunk of 00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:42.339 our passage 00:22:42.339 --> 00:22:42.640 tonight, 00:22:42.740 --> 00:22:43.120 he says 00:22:43.120 --> 00:22:43.620 this, 00:22:44.100 --> 00:22:44.640 we also 00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:45.360 have the 00:22:45.360 --> 00:22:45.860 prophetic 00:22:45.860 --> 00:22:47.019 message as 00:22:47.019 --> 00:22:47.480 something 00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:48.339 completely 00:22:48.339 --> 00:22:48.860 reliable, 00:22:49.299 --> 00:22:49.720 and you 00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:50.000 will do 00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:50.440 well to 00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:50.960 pay attention 00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:51.460 to it, 00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:52.680 as to a 00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:53.319 light shining 00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:53.819 in a dark 00:22:53.819 --> 00:22:54.299 place, 00:22:54.599 --> 00:22:55.259 until the 00:22:55.259 --> 00:22:56.099 day dawns 00:22:56.099 --> 00:22:56.579 and the 00:22:56.579 --> 00:22:57.079 morning star 00:22:57.079 --> 00:22:57.620 rises in 00:22:57.620 --> 00:22:58.120 your hearts. 00:22:58.599 --> 00:22:59.099 Above all, 00:22:59.400 --> 00:22:59.720 you must 00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:00.620 understand that 00:23:00.620 --> 00:23:01.279 no prophecy 00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:01.740 of Scripture 00:23:01.740 --> 00:23:02.480 came about 00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:03.120 by the 00:23:03.120 --> 00:23:03.559 prophet's 00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:03.819 own 00:23:03.819 --> 00:23:04.400 interpretation 00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:05.160 of things. 00:23:05.900 --> 00:23:06.339 For 00:23:06.339 --> 00:23:06.799 prophecy 00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:07.400 never had 00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:07.980 its origin 00:23:07.980 --> 00:23:08.980 in the 00:23:08.980 --> 00:23:09.640 human will, 00:23:10.220 --> 00:23:10.980 but prophets, 00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:12.200 though human, 00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:12.920 spoke from 00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:13.500 God as 00:23:13.500 --> 00:23:16.299 they were 00:23:16.299 --> 00:23:17.180 carried along 00:23:17.180 --> 00:23:17.860 by the 00:23:17.860 --> 00:23:18.920 Holy Spirit. 00:23:19.980 --> 00:23:20.779 When Jesus 00:23:20.779 --> 00:23:22.039 appeared on 00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:22.500 the scene 00:23:22.500 --> 00:23:24.519 the first 00:23:24.519 --> 00:23:25.060 time, 00:23:26.060 --> 00:23:27.100 it was not 00:23:27.100 --> 00:23:27.680 completely out 00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:27.900 of the 00:23:27.900 --> 00:23:28.140 blue. 00:23:29.320 --> 00:23:31.000 His life, 00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:31.700 death, 00:23:31.820 --> 00:23:32.480 and resurrection 00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:33.100 were all 00:23:33.100 --> 00:23:33.820 foretold by 00:23:33.820 --> 00:23:34.380 the prophets. 00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:36.240 In fact, 00:23:36.320 --> 00:23:36.900 Jesus fulfilled 00:23:36.900 --> 00:23:37.380 at least 00:23:37.380 --> 00:23:39.560 300 prophecies 00:23:39.560 --> 00:23:40.400 in his 00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:40.660 earthly 00:23:40.660 --> 00:23:41.180 ministry. 00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:44.700 Isaiah 53 00:23:44.700 --> 00:23:45.980 was written 00:23:45.980 --> 00:23:46.740 about 700 00:23:46.740 --> 00:23:47.860 years before 00:23:47.860 --> 00:23:48.340 Jesus was 00:23:48.340 --> 00:23:48.759 on earth. 00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:51.980 And it 00:23:51.980 --> 00:23:52.700 amazes me 00:23:52.700 --> 00:23:53.120 every time 00:23:53.120 --> 00:23:53.700 I read it. 00:23:56.340 --> 00:23:57.120 It almost 00:23:57.120 --> 00:23:57.779 seems like 00:23:57.779 --> 00:23:59.460 something that 00:23:59.460 --> 00:23:59.860 was written 00:23:59.860 --> 00:24:00.620 after Jesus' 00:24:00.819 --> 00:24:01.500 crucifixion 00:24:01.500 --> 00:24:02.160 because it 00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:02.980 describes it 00:24:02.980 --> 00:24:04.660 so well. 00:24:04.660 --> 00:24:08.279 And although 00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:08.720 the Bible 00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:09.560 has roughly 00:24:09.560 --> 00:24:10.860 40 different 00:24:10.860 --> 00:24:11.680 human authors, 00:24:12.800 --> 00:24:13.540 in reality, 00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:14.300 as Peter 00:24:14.300 --> 00:24:14.720 says, 00:24:15.080 --> 00:24:15.519 it has 00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:16.320 only one 00:24:16.320 --> 00:24:16.820 author, 00:24:18.779 --> 00:24:19.259 God. 00:24:20.259 --> 00:24:20.800 And that 00:24:20.800 --> 00:24:21.080 is why 00:24:21.080 --> 00:24:21.740 these 66 00:24:21.740 --> 00:24:23.320 books work 00:24:23.320 --> 00:24:24.779 together so 00:24:24.779 --> 00:24:25.160 well, 00:24:25.300 --> 00:24:25.940 and why 00:24:25.940 --> 00:24:27.920 their prophecies 00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:29.880 have come 00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:30.240 true, 00:24:30.700 --> 00:24:31.200 and why we 00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:31.800 can trust 00:24:31.800 --> 00:24:33.240 the prophecies 00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:33.700 that have not 00:24:33.700 --> 00:24:34.279 yet come 00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:34.620 true. 00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:36.819 And even 00:24:36.819 --> 00:24:37.080 at the 00:24:37.080 --> 00:24:37.880 transfiguration, 00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:39.340 with Moses 00:24:39.340 --> 00:24:39.940 and Elijah 00:24:39.940 --> 00:24:40.299 there, 00:24:41.819 --> 00:24:42.580 Elijah appearing 00:24:42.580 --> 00:24:42.880 is the 00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:43.680 fulfillment of 00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:44.220 a prophecy 00:24:44.220 --> 00:24:45.180 in Malachi 00:24:45.180 --> 00:24:46.440 4. 00:24:48.620 --> 00:24:49.340 And when 00:24:49.340 --> 00:24:49.680 you look at 00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:50.059 what's called 00:24:50.059 --> 00:24:50.680 the meta 00:24:50.680 --> 00:24:51.140 narrative, 00:24:51.819 --> 00:24:52.400 the big 00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:52.980 overarching 00:24:52.980 --> 00:24:53.519 story of 00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:53.920 the Bible, 00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:54.940 you see how 00:24:54.940 --> 00:24:55.660 wonderfully it 00:24:55.660 --> 00:24:56.240 all fits 00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:56.720 together. 00:24:57.740 --> 00:24:58.220 The themes 00:24:58.220 --> 00:24:59.259 repeat and 00:24:59.259 --> 00:24:59.799 they grow 00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:00.580 wonderfully. 00:25:00.579 --> 00:25:05.779 something that 00:25:05.779 --> 00:25:06.179 I find 00:25:06.179 --> 00:25:06.799 really helpful 00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:07.659 in seeing 00:25:07.659 --> 00:25:08.599 that overarching 00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:09.539 story is 00:25:09.539 --> 00:25:10.359 a thing called 00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:10.699 the Bible 00:25:10.699 --> 00:25:11.259 Project. 00:25:13.399 --> 00:25:14.019 If you've 00:25:14.019 --> 00:25:14.240 not come 00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:14.559 across it 00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:14.799 before, 00:25:14.879 --> 00:25:15.419 I'd recommend 00:25:15.419 --> 00:25:15.720 that you 00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:16.220 look it 00:25:16.220 --> 00:25:16.419 up. 00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:18.639 It does 00:25:18.639 --> 00:25:18.919 a great 00:25:18.919 --> 00:25:19.539 job of 00:25:19.539 --> 00:25:20.119 working 00:25:20.119 --> 00:25:20.619 through the 00:25:20.619 --> 00:25:21.259 themes as 00:25:21.259 --> 00:25:21.579 they go 00:25:21.579 --> 00:25:21.960 throughout 00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:22.319 the whole 00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:22.659 Bible. 00:25:22.660 --> 00:25:29.720 So yes, 00:25:29.860 --> 00:25:30.340 remember, 00:25:31.080 --> 00:25:31.620 we can 00:25:31.620 --> 00:25:32.300 trust God's 00:25:32.300 --> 00:25:32.660 word. 00:25:33.779 --> 00:25:34.279 Jesus will 00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:34.820 return in 00:25:34.820 --> 00:25:35.140 power. 00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:36.759 The prophets 00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:38.360 confirm it. 00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:42.820 So as I 00:25:42.820 --> 00:25:43.140 come to 00:25:43.140 --> 00:25:44.100 an end 00:25:44.100 --> 00:25:44.519 here, 00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:46.019 I hope 00:25:46.019 -->
