WHERE IS THE PROMISE OF HIS COMING?- Joel Finck


   WHERE IS THE PROMISE OF HIS COMING?-
Joel Finck


Scripture Reading: Acts 3:19,20; II Peter 3:4-15

Not long after the resurrection and ascension of Christ,   he apostle Peter made a fantastic offer to the nation ofIsrael:  "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be  blotted out, when the time of refreshing shall come from the  presence of the Lord; And he shall send Jesus Christ, which  before was preached unto you" (Acts 3:19, 20). This is no less  than the offer of the kingdom, complete with the return of  Christ!

Yet many years passed, and Christ did not come. In fact,  some who had heard Peter preach eventually began to scoff  and question the very Word of God. Peter's answer to these  and all who wonder why Christ did not come is that "The Lord  is not slack concerning his promise" (II Peter 3:9). He will  indeed fulfill His promise some day (verses 10-13). Then in a  remarkable verse, Peter points his readers to one who could  truly give them insight into the delay of Christ's return: "And  account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation even as  our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given  unto him hath written unto you" (verse 15).

Paul's epistles fully explain why the prophecies of Christ's  return in power and glory have been postponed. It is so God  can unfold the great mystery among the Gentiles: "For I would  not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest  ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part  is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come  in" (Romans 11:25). After this, the prophecies will resume.



 Thank You Lord For Saving My Soul.

Believing Christ DIED, that’s HISTORY.
