2 Peter

Beginning in 2 Peter 3:10 Peter talks about the coming day of Christ Jesus’ return.  In anticipation of that day we should, as Peter notes in verse 11, live holy and godly lives.  Then in verse 12 he said our waiting should be accompanied by action the will “make that day come soon.”  Wow!  We can impact God’s time-table on the end.  The great and awesome God of creation says that his church, made up of weak and sinful people, has a part in scheduling the end of time.  But that message also means that we are responsible for his delay as well.  Does that mean the 21^st century should not have come to be?  I don’t know.  But it does mean that I need to be engaged in sharing the hope of the Gospel more forcefully than I have.
