The Door of Mercy Is Still Open
“But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”
2 Peter 3:8-9

Ponder This
Some people ask, “Why hasn’t Jesus come?” But God hasn’t forgotten. The other question people ask is, “When exactly is Jesus coming?” Jesus has not yet come because God has kept the door of mercy open. Jesus is going to come suddenly like a thief in the night.
Only God knows the perfect timing. We know it will happen, and we hold onto the certainty that Jesus is coming again. Since the Day of the Lord will come, how should we live now? We know how to live from Scripture. We are to be transformed to be like Him and we are to share the Gospel until He returns.
- What are some ways God called His people to live according to Scripture? Why is living out God’s Word important in preparing for the Second Coming?
- What keeps you from rightly preparing for Jesus’ Second Coming?
Practice This
Pray and ask God for boldness and hope as you faithfully wait for His Second Coming.
