2 Peter (Program #10) – The Divine Government (3)
No doubt we have all heard and said that one day to the Lord is like a thousand years. Actually, this is a rough quotation from 2 Peter 3, a chapter that speaks both of the Lord’s second coming and the righteous and just judgment that will occur at the time of His coming. Of course, to us it seems as if the Lord has delayed His coming already for two thousand years, but to Him, it’s just a couple of days. Actually Peter tells us that this delay is not motivated by the Lord’s indifference or because He is arbitrary about the timing, but rather because He is long-suffering towards us. That means He is mercifully granting us more time, more time to be mature and to be prepared for His coming so that none will unnecessarily perish.
