1:16 我們從前將我們主耶穌基督的大能和他降臨的事告訴你們,並不是隨從乖巧捏造的虛言,乃是親眼見過他的威榮。
1:17 他從父上帝得尊貴榮耀的時候,從極大榮光之中有聲音出來,向他說:「這是我的愛子,我所喜悅的。」
1:18 我們同他在聖山的時候,親自聽見這聲音從天上出來。
For
we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. He
received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from
the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well
pleased.” We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with
him on the sacred mountain.

「登山變像」這個事件,對彼得而言是一個重要的經歷,也藉由這段文字敘述,可以確認彼得後書是使徒彼得寫的,因為他有經歷耶穌在山上變貌,聽見上帝的話說:「這是我的愛子,我所喜悅的。」
也因為彼得這樣的見證,我們相信耶穌基督是上帝的獨生子。更因為這樣的宣告我們相信耶穌基督的救恩是確實的,是不容置疑的!也因為如此,我們相信聖經縮宣告的:上帝在基督耶穌裡的應許是真的,是必定實現的,而且即刻實現!當然離完全實現有一段距離,所以我們還是需要忍耐。
也因為我們還在過程中,所以必須堅持,也必須掙扎。但是,我們確信上帝的救恩終必完全實現!我們必定與眾聖徒,在榮耀境一同讚美與敬拜!
