2 Peter 1:12-21. Peter had no doubt that the scriptures would be fulfilled – that he would see Christ come in his glory someday. He had, in fact, seen a supernatural preview of that coming attraction when he personally observed the transfiguration of Christ (Matt. 17:1-8; Mark 9:2-8; Luke 9:28-36). If his readers had not yet come to their own spiritual “aha moment,” Peter encourages them to trust in the more sure prophetic word. It can serve as a lamp shining in their lives to keep them from stumbling – until the day (of Christ’s return) dawns. Then their hearts will know no confusion.
Trust the scriptures. They are the work of the Holy Spirit, not men. He will see to it that they are fulfilled.
LORD, we have not seen you on the mountain, but we choose to trust your word. What you say, you will do.
