paradigm shift regarding when the Lord will return
I was talking with a student after church this weekend about what will happen when we die, more specifically when God is coming back.
It struck me that I always seem to want things: now. I am not patient whatsoever. It’s interesting reading in the ESV Study Bible the following note from 2 Peter 3
- “The Lords patience Determines the timing of his return. The Lord’s perspective on time is different from that of humans. It is not that God is slow in fulfilling his promise, but rather that he is patient.”
I forget that God is on a totally different scale of time than what I operate on daily. And His scale is perfect, mine is not! Amen.
