Why I Believe In The Trinity #2.....deno

       In Matthew 17:1-8 we have the scene where Jesus took three of his disciples Peter, James, and John up to a high mountain apart from the other believers and disciples. There was something very special he and the Father wanted to share with them. They reach the peak of the mountain and suddenly before the disciples eyes Jesus Himself began to be transfigured. This transfiguration is what I want to focus on for a moment.
    As they watched Jesus being transfigured they began to see the Word that became flesh that was with God in the beginning(John 1:1-5)(Genesis 1:26) come SHINING THRU. Brighter and brighter he became until he shined brighter than any light brightness they had ever seen or known. They, being fisherman, had seen the awesome light of the sun glistening brightly upon the lakes and seas they had fished in, but even those sun and moon glistening reflections on those waters could not compare to the brightness of the glorious light that they were now seeing radiating from the Son Of God on the mount. They were witnessing the heavenly of the Son of God. They were beholding the part of Jesus that had no beginning of days neither ending of days glistening with Godhead glory. They were beholding the Eternal Power of The Son of God within that body that was soon to be offered up for the sin and salvation of the world (Hebrews 9:13-14). 
       Then after he amazed them with this Amazing Grace poured on purpose upon them there, they fell to the ground in awe and fear. Then, there with Jesus on that mount appeared Moses and Elijah in awing light themselves but not above the brightness of Jesus. Lord, Peter, replied. Shall we make three tabernacles, one for you, one for Moses, One for Elijah.  The Father being on the scene was hearing Peters words and He was already on the move to render His own answer to Peters question. Another bright cloud began to overshadow them mixing it's glory with Jesus' shining glistening glory (vs4-5). Then from that cloud the voice of the Father spoke these words out the mouth of God that cannot lie, saying, No, make no tabernacle for the three. The Father said, For This (Jesus) is My beloved Son, In Whom I Am Perfectly Pleased. He Is The One You Are To Hear."Since the Father therefore calls Jesus His Son, all of us who do are in line with the Fathers tongue and it is written that the mouth of God cannot lie, such is impossible for Him to do (Hebrews 6:17-19).
     Now this is the question that with the scriptures in our next writing on the trinity we shall answer. The question is this. When did the Father first call Jesus His Son? Was it in eternity before the foundation of the world? Or only after the Word became flesh, became a man, and dwelt amongst us? And if we can find in and from the scriptures that Jesus was known as the Son of God BEFORE he came down from heaven and became flesh and before the foundation of the world, then we all must humble ourselves before the mighty Word Of Truth and confess that Jesus is Lord, The Eternal Son of the Most High God.....stay tuned....we answer this in the next Trinity writing.....deno...please share freely.
