You Don't Have a Cartoon Religion

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.

2 Peter 1:16-18 (NIV)

I must admit that I laugh (to their face) at arrogant evolutionists  who scoff at creationism. Their big proof is "illustrations" of hypothetical evolutionary steps from something crawling out of the water, to a monkey to modern humans. It's a cartoon! You might as well believe that Bugs Bunny is an alien who came from outer space and spiked our ancient microbial ancestors to set us on an evolutionary pathway to the humanity we are now. 

Peter is proclaiming that the apostles gospel is not a made up fantasy but truth and reality in the most undeniable manner. They saw and God heard speak from his Majestic Glory proclaiming Christ as his Son. They saw him live, die and rise from the dead. They did not make up some clever story. The simply told the truth about who Jesus is. 

For us today that means we are basing our hope on the truth of Christ. He is Savior and Lord. He ever lives to intercede on our behalf. He will never leave us or forsake us. He will remain faithful even when we don't. He is faithful to complete the good work he began in us. That is the truth. 

Father, thank you for the truth in Christ. Help us to live by faith i Christ. Praise be to you in us today!
