 The Swedenborgian Church-Sermons-The Transfiguration: A Mountaintop Experience
With Peter Cartwright and the writer of the Book of Hebrews, we can affirm, "Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" (Hebrews 10:39-11:1).
A short time before Jesus took Peter, James and John to that mountain, he had asked his disciples a question: "Who do people say that I am?" The disciples no doubt mingled about in the crowds, especially when Jesus was preaching, teaching, and healing, and they were probably pretty impressed by some of the comments.
In the spiritual sense of the Word it was not Peter the man, but the statement of truth that Peter proclaimed, that the Lord indicated was the foundation on which the Lord's church is established in every person.
