The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is long suffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (v9)
Christ’s Second Coming
1. The Lord is long suffering to you-ward – God lets His time work throughout human history from generation to generation, allowing men in the world the chance to repent. (v8-9)
2. Life in the end times – Our hope for the Lord’s return impacts how we live this life, driving us to be more diligent, sober and confident to meet the Lord. (v14)
Scripture of the day: (NT) : II Peter 3

* And he brought me to the temple and measured…and he went inward, and measured the length thereof, twenty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits… and he said unto me, This is the most holy place. (Ezekiel 41:1-4)
Ezekiel 40-42: The prophet, through describing the dimensions of the temple from up down and from outside in, signified how our worship reaches toward the more and most holy as we go more and more inward.
