Scripture: 2 Peter 3: 3-4, 8
Knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, And saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the father fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” (3, 4) But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is a thousand years, and a thousand years is one day.(8)
Scripture Commentary: We have the promise of His coming
What are you afraid of? If this world was to end today, this second, why would you be afraid? Only those who do not know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will have fear. Be assured of his coming. Those who have Christ in their life, who live for Him, have no fear.
Neither Man nor woman know God’s timetable, only He knows. We are to live for God everyday of our lives, and do His work everyday while we are here on earth.
When the day comes that you are not here, or can not do the work of our Lord, that can be your last day. What will you say when He asks, “What have you done in my name?”
Do not fall asleep without working to spread his Word to others. These are our last days, and this is the time between Christ’s first and second coming. Thus we, like Peter, are living in the last days. Be ready to meet our Lord Jesus Christ anytime, even today. If you serve Him, you will meet Him.
