Today’s Feast
Sep. 23, 2014- 2nd
Peter 3
The Lord’s Day Will Come
Please
join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about fifteen
minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately
three years. Gods
Not Dead!
“17 But you must remember, beloved, the
predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 1:17
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of 2nd Chapter 3; “The
design here is to remind of Christ's final coming to judgement. (1-4) He
will appear unexpectedly, when the present frame of nature will be dissolved
by fire. (5-10) From
thence is inferred the need for holiness, and stedfastness in the faith. (11-18)
Verses
1-4 The purified minds of Christians are to be stirred up, that they
may be active and lively in the work of holiness… Because they see no
changes, therefore they fear not God, ( Psalms 55:19 )
. What he never has done, they fancy he never can do, or never will do.
Verses
5-10 Had these scoffers considered the dreadful vengeance with which
God swept away a whole world of ungodly men at once, surely they would not
have scoffed at his threatening an equally terrible judgment... Therefore
make sure of happiness beyond this visible world.
Verses
11-18 From the doctrine of Christ's second coming, we are exhorted
to purity and godliness… This is the knowledge of Christ, which the apostle
Paul reached after, and desired to attain; and those who taste this effect of
the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, will, upon receiving such
grace from him, give thanks and praise him, and join in ascribing glory to
him now, in the full assurance of doing the same hereafter, forever.” - Matthew Henry Concise
By
the love and grace of God we have been saved, (see 2 Peter 3:1-4)
yet there are those who would deny God’s very existence to lead us astray. If scoffers
would pray and read God’s Word (see
2 Peter 3:5-10) they would understand how the Lord’s day will come suddenly on all
creation. Destruction and Salvation
will come suddenly, (see 2 Peter 3:11-18) you and I are to be on guard so that we will not be turned aside
from God’s good grace; “18
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To
him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.” 2 Peter 3:18 English Standard Versions
(ESV). As for me and you saints we should
hold on to every good work (see
Colossians
1:10) and continue to grow
in our knowledge of Jesus. Take heart when you get resistance from
ignorant or evil people; “3 More than that, we rejoice in our
sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance
produces character, and character produces hope,” Romans 5:3-4 ESV. Because of our
hope and faith in Jesus (see 1
John 3:3) we will be rewarded on
the Lord’s Day.
Do you hear Jesus calling you? Are you ready now? Do you want to find true
happiness, peace and purpose in your life?

“6 My people are destroyed for lack of
knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a
priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will
forget your children.” Hosea 4:6 ESV.
