Matthew 17
Jesus appears in all his glory to Peter, James, and John. They saw Him as he appears in Heaven, his true form.
-Jesus was sinless because He always sought God's will. Our sin begins when we serve our own.
-Peter was overwhelmed with joy in the presence of the Lord.
-Pursuit of the Spirit of God is not an option as a Christian. His presence is our joy and His honor.
-Develop a holy dissatisfaction with your spiritual. Desire more God in you always.
-Develop a plan to grow towards God. Put forth effort to seek Him, thru study, meditation, etc.
2 Corinthians 3:18
Beholding the glory of God is transforming.
-Faith is not a one time event.
- Jesus pleases God as a reflection of himself. As we are transform to become more like christ, we become more pleasing to the Father.
-In His perfection and righteousness He loves us despite our imperfection and unrighteousness.
-Our joy: His honor
What would it be like if we stepped into His presence completely, forgetting ourselves?
