Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of HopeПример

  

April 30

Introduction

The final chapter of 2 Peter focuses on the day of Christ’s return. Followers of Christ should not be upset by people who make fun of them because Christ hasn’t yet returned. Rather, they should stay strong in faith, awaiting the new heaven and new earth God promises.

Today’s Scripture: 2 Peter 3:13 (GNT)

We wait for what God has promised: new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness will be at home.

Today’s Reading 

2 Peter 3:1-18

Reflect

Today’s reading emphasizes the importance of patiently waiting for the Lord’s return and not losing hope. At the time of this letter, many had thought Christ would have already returned. According to the letter, what will the day of the Lord’s return be like? How are followers of Christ to act as they wait for his return? 

Pray

Lord God, you are the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. Though I know not when you will return, you call me and all people of faith to help people experience a glimpse of your realm by extending your love and grace throughout your whole creation. Help me to grow in the knowledge of your Son, Jesus Christ. To him be the glory now and forever! Amen.
