Extended Memorization Of Scripture: 2 PeterSample

Peter and two other Apostles were specifically chosen by Jesus at that time to accompany him up the sacred mountain, to see him transformed into radiant appearance and to hear the voice of Almighty God speaking out of a cloud: “This is my beloved Son!” But in this section of his epistle, Peter says something amazing; he claims that we Christians have something far more certain even that that astonishing experience on which to base our faith--the prophetic word.

The written word of God is more certain than any spiritual experience we could ever have! Why? Because it can never change, and is not subject to the corruption of faulty memories that come after the experience has occurred. The memory of the experience can fade gradually over time, and mental weeds can start growing up which cloud the facts of what actually occurred.
