SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY 2 Peter 3:1-9

Jesus Will Come Again

¹ My friends, this is the second letter I have written you to help your honest minds remember.² I want you to think about the words the holy prophets spoke in the past, and remember the command our Lord and Savior gave us through your apostles.³ It is most important for you to understand what will happen in the last days. People will laugh at you. They will live doing the evil things they want to do.⁴ They will say, "Jesus promised to come again. Where is he? Our fathers have died, but the world continues the way it has been since it was made."⁵ But they do not want to remember what happened long ago. By the word of God heaven was made, and the earth was made from water and with water.⁶ Then the world was flooded and destroyed with water.⁷ And that same word of God is keeping heaven and earth that we now have in order to be destroyed by fire. They are being kept for the Judgment Day and the destruction of all who are against God.

⁸ But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: To the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years is as one day.⁹ The Lord is not slow in doing what he promised—the way some people understand slowness. But God is being patient with you. He does not want anyone to be lost, but he wants all people to change their hearts and lives.

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-JASPER
