Our text for this week (2 Peter 3:8-15) is a vivid reminder that Advent is not only about the coming of Jesus as a baby at Christmas, but also about the coming of God in the Day of the Lord. We live in a world that buries the first coming of Christ under an avalanche of fluffy sentimentality and scoffs at the idea of a second coming. Our text is designed precisely to instruct us on how to live in such a scenario. In this message, we explore how the future coming of Jesus shapes our present mode of living.
