Beware Cleverly Devised Myths

We did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eye witnesses of his majesty. For 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
Peter reminds us that the Apostles were there, present when Jesus revealed His glory. We are an Apostolic Church. We believe the teachings of the Divine Word and the instructions that those who were given the "deposit of faith". This Lent recall that Jesus walked among us and bear in mind and heart, that our journey is not in vain when it ends at the cross in Calvary.
