II Peter 3:14-18
4/10/05
There is a little different twist on the conclusion of Peter's words, which is not apparent in the English text here. It says in verse 18, "To him be glory both now," and then the text literally says, "And unto the day of eternity." "To him be glory now and unto the day of eternity."
You know that we have been talking about a series of days in this chapter. In this chapter he talks a little bit about our days of opportunity, the fact that the Lord Jesus has delayed His coming in order to give people an opportunity in this day to be saved.

What a thought. It is a thought which defies our mind. It is a thought that really can be disturbing to our heart.
