NOVEMBER 15 READING…2 PETER 3
Peter closes his second letter by reminding us that the words of the prophets are true. They have told us of the second coming of Christ, and that it is sure to happen. The Lord will return right on time, God’s time. He will not come a minute early, or a minute late…He will be right on time. Peter tells us there will be scoffers, they will mock those who believe that Jesus is coming…we should expect this. These scoffers walk in their own carnality and lusts. The very sad thing is they scoff, but when He comes their scoffing will cease and their judgment will begin. God does not see time as we finite humans do. For Him a thousand years is as a day…for He is the eternal One. Nor is God bound by time…time like all things was created by Him, and He is above His creation. When the Lord returns it will be unexpected by the world, and He will destroy creation by fire, along with all those who scoff and reject Him. But we look for a new heaven and a new earth, as we stand fast in the promise we have in Christ Jesus. Until that day, we are to continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Please share your thoughts.
