1 Chronicles 4:24-5:26; Ezekiel 7:1-27; John 1:19-51
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness, but is longsuffering to us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 NKJV
This verse tells us two things that the Lord is not. He is not slack concerning His promise to come again, and He is not willing that any should perish. As we consider these truths we look upward expectantly, knowing that “He that shall come will come, and will not tarry” (Heb. 10:37). Also, we look outward compassionately, to men in their great spiritual need, knowing that it delights His heart to save precious souls. He is a returning and redeeming Lord! As
we wait for Him may we faithfully serve Him. —Philip A. Kaye
Jesus is coming! O sing the glad word!
Coming for those He redeemed by His blood. —Daniel W. Whittle
