THE LORD'S MAJESTY
2PT 1:16-18 FOR WE HAVE NOT FOLLOWED DEVISED FABLES , WHEN WE MADE UNTO YOU THE POWER AND COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, BUT WERE EYEWITNESSES OF HIS MAJESTY . FOR HE RECEIVED FROM GOD THE FATHER HONOUR AND GLORY, WHEN THERE CAME SUCH A VOICE TO HIM FROM THE EXCELLENT GLORY, THIS IS MY BELOVED SON, IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED. AND THIS VOICE WHICH CAME FROM HEAVEN WE HEARD, WHEN WE WERE WITH HIM IN THE HOLY MOUNT.
APOSTLE PETER WAS THERE WITH THE LORD WHEN HE WAS HERE ON EARTH IN THE FLESH. HE SAW WITH HIS OWN EYES THE DIVINE POWER OF GOD. HE SAW THE MIRACLES AND THE PERSECUTION, LET US BE FILLED WITH THE FIRE OF GOD GIVING ALL DILIGENCE, ADDING TO OUR FAITH VIRTUE AND TO VIRTUE KNOWLEDGE; AND TO KNOWLEDGE TEMPERANCE; AND TO TEMPERANCE PATIENCE ; AND TO PATIENCE GODLINESS; AND TO GODLINESS BROTHERLY KINDNESS ; AND TO BROTHERLY KINDNESS CHARITY. HEBREW=TZEDAKAH-RIGHTEOUSNESS SIGNIIFIES CHARITY.
CHARITY BUILDS TRUSTING RELATIONSHIPS AND INCLUDES CONTRIBUTIONS OF TIME, EFFORT, AND INSIGHT.
