In this sermon, we launched our new series, The Story of Redemption, where we will explore how the Bible is not a collection of myths or human ideas, but a single, unified story of redemption. This story was written by human authors under the divine inspiration of the Holy Spirit, with Jesus as the undeniable hero. In 2 Peter 1:16-21 and 1 Peter 1:10-12, Peter reminds us that he and the other apostles were eyewitnesses of Jesus' majesty. They saw His glory firsthand during the Transfiguration and heard the Father's voice declare Jesus as His beloved Son. This eyewitness testimony affirms the prophecies of the Old Testament. Peter also reminds us that the Old Testament prophets, led by the Holy Spirit, foretold both the sufferings and the glories of Jesus, serving future generations—including us—who now see the full picture of redemption. This great salvation story, foretold by prophets, witnessed by apostles, and longed to be understood even by angels, has now been written down for us as a light in the darkness, until we see Jesus face to face.
