Heaven & Hell: Week 5 – Waiting for Jesus
Some of us have waited a long time for Jesus’ return and we may be tempted to be lazy in our walk with God or worse, to just give up. Peter helps us by reminding us, “But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day. The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent. But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and the very elements themselves will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be found to deserve judgment. But we are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised, a world filled with God’s righteousness. May you be ready and found waiting for Jesus.
