Ok, so I didn't make it into 2 Peter before I was struck by something. It opens with the words:
... to those who through the righteousness
of God and our Savior Jesus Christ have
received a faith as precious as ours.
Immediately it made me realize how sometimes I forget why our faith is precious, or that it even is. That sometimes I get to where I forget the value of what I have and what I have become a part of, the Mystery and Humility of the Incarnation, the Hope and Power of the Resurrection, the the very Goodness and Love of True Deity and the Grandness and Perseverance of the Tradition through which it has come to me. Simply I forget how important God and what He has done is. But here I am remind of the source and power of any and all things that are good. They come from the nature and actions of each figure of the Trinity, here particularly God the Father and Jesus Christ(just focusing on them here makes me wonder if more will be said about the Holy Spirit later, like Peter now talks to them about things they are very familiar with, and that are very important, but wants to tell them about something they are not so familiar with but is just as important).
