Peter | Part 2

Peter was the disciple who went on to be a key leader of the church. When you look at the episodes that unfolded for Peter, how Jesus dealt with him along the way, and what was produced through his eventual leadership, there is much to learn in our own discipleship journey! Join us for this great character series to develop our biblical understanding.

4. ‘in order to fully understand what it means to be a christian, you must stand in the crowd, point to a man and say, ‘He is God’’. Søren Kierkegaard
5. A MOMENT OF REVELATION
6. Jesus took Peter and the two brothers, James and John, and led them up a high mountain to be alone. As the men watched, Jesus’ appearance was transformed so that his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as light. Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared and began talking with Jesus. Matthew 17:1–8 (NLT)
7. Peter exclaimed, “Lord, it’s wonderful for us to be here! If you want, I’ll make three shelters as memorials—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” But even as he spoke, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy. Listen to him.” The disciples were terrified and fell face down on the ground. Then Jesus came over and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.” And when they looked up, Moses and Elijah were gone, and they saw only Jesus. Matthew 17:1–8 (NLT)

9. To all those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ. For we were not making up clever stories when we told you about the powerful coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We saw his majestic splendour with our own eyes when he received honour and glory from God the Father. The voice from the majestic glory of God said to him, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy.” We ourselves heard that voice from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain. 2 Peter 1:1, 16–18 (NLT)
10. But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 2 Corinthians 3:16–18, 4:6&7 (ESV)
