2 Peter 1:16-18, “For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known 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."
This sermon from American Pastor J.D. Montieth reveals the magnificent glory of Christ shown throughout Scripture; from the Gospels, to the Book of Daniel and to the Book of Revelation in Eyewitnesses of His Majesty: "It is important for us to both understand and believe, that neither the message of Christ, nor His person are part of a cleverly devised fable. Rather, that Christianity as we know it today is based upon the personal and eyewitness accounts of those who themselves saw not only Christ in His resurrected body, but also the glory that shall be Christ’s at His return. This glory was first seen by Peter, James and John, on the mount of transfiguration.
"Everything about the glory of Christ, from the glory of His head to the white brass-like finish of His feet, shows us the great Creature that is Christ. John sees Jesus in His heavenly glory, beautiful, brilliant, and full of the glory of God.
"One cannot come into contact with God’s holy presence and not be taken aback, so much so that even time seems to stand still. Revelations from God will always greatly humble the heart so that we internally feel unworthy of being in the Lord’s presence. Any true sight of the Son of God, therefore, will not puff a man up like just knowledge can, but will send him to his knees and to his face. God’s glory has a great effect on a man’s inward soul, and even on his physical body. The true glory of the Lord is well beyond man’s physical limitations to see Him and to live. Hence, though this was a vision given to the apostle John of Christ’s glory, he still fell before the Lord as one dead. This shall also be the same result in us if ever, by God’s grace, we are allowed to see the great glory that is the Son of God’s."
