Invest In Hope: Then Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here.” Matthew 17:4

Peter is thrilled to experience the glorious majesty of Jesus seen in the Transfiguration. Later on, Peter gave his all to spread the gospel of Jesus. Although we haven’t seen the Transfiguration, we, like Peter, are invited to spread the gospel by our words and actions.
