Not Slow

 Not Slow

The Apostle Peter wrote,

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9.

It has been over two thousand years since Jesus walked the earth and I get asked, “why hasn’t Jesus returned?”

The answer is given by the apostle Peter. God wants everyone to come to repentance. God want’s the salvation message to reach every place on earth. It’s really that simple. 

Since God is an eternal being time matters little to Him. Thus if it takes millenniums to reach each person on the earth so be it.

The important thing is that he is willing to wait as long as possible to give people everywhere the opportunity to come to know Him.

In the gospel of John, John records Jesus speaking of himself as saying,

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16.17.

So the question becomes dear reader. Do you know Christ as your Saviour?

Please think about it.
