The reading today is 2 Peter 1:16-18...but I preferred reading the whole chapter to better understand. I'm not a theologian or an expert in God's Word but I'm sharing my reflections here. (Good thing it is that I can't find my journal so I can share with you again. :) )
"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." - 2 Peter 1:16
The disciples can clearly speak about the truth about Jesus because they saw it first hand. They were eye-witnesses when a voice came from heaven saying that Jesus was the Son of God. This, through their faith and by the power of the holy Spirit, made them legit messengers from God.
Because of this, they're call was clear to them. It was to share/spread what they have seen. They must not keep it for themselves. Why? Because the message of love, hope and salvation through Jesus Christ is not only for them but for everyone.
Doing God's call to spread the Good News about Jesus requires their immediate action for the Lord made it clear to the author that he had little time left on earth to share. He made every minute count and every opportunity to remind his fellow Christians about God's call to do our best in our Christian living, to keep ourselves pure, and to remain loyal to Him until the Day our Lord Jesus Christ comes.
That message is not only for the Christians who lived before but also for all of us living today.
May we continue experience God's love everyday and be able to share the Good News and our experiences/testimonies in our walk with Him. Amen! :)
