彼得后书 第三章|Book of 2 Peter 3

【殷勤忍耐等候主再来】

主讲：丘均发实习传道 + 陈炎明牧师

31/03/2022

引言：

这章经文再次提醒我们主的日子近了，你预备好了吗? 你是否可以安然见主面? 所以我们要殷勤忍耐等侯主再来！

一、防备讥诮主来的人（V1—7）

1．纪念使徒传的话（Vl—2）

这两封信是提醒信徒的心要不被蒙蔽，要记得先知的预言，主的命令和使徒所传给他们一切的话。因为蒙蔽会使他们将主的命令、使徒的话，就是耶稣基督要再回来，大地面对审判，这一切的话忘记。

2.讥诮者出于私欲 (V3-7)

当时的假教师对信徒说：现在的世界跟以前一样，一直安然无恙，将来也是如此。他们讥诮主的话，随从自己的私欲、私心、或利益，也出于不信。

彼得解释是讥诮者故意忘记审判。其实是有审判，将来的审判是用火焚烧。

二、将来必有新天新地 (V8-13)

1．主未再来是宽容 (V8-9)

主必定再来，并且不是耽延，乃是宽容；主不是失信，乃是可信。因者主的爱，祂愿意宽容，等候更多人得救，不愿一人沉沦。

2. 切切仰望主再来(V10-13)

面对主必再来，信徒要：第一，期待那日快到“切切仰望神的日子来到”；第二，要活出“圣洁…敬虔”的生活。

三、预备主再来的日子 (V14-18)

1．当殷勤长久忍耐

我们要起来快跑跟随主，要在圣洁和事奉上追求主。在逼迫和压力之下，我们依然要站立得稳，长久忍耐殷勤服事神。

2. 防备错谬的诱惑

我们要能分辨，要防备被蒙蔽和诱惑。对那些叫我们参与坏事的人说不，因为他们不信主会再来，不信将来有审判。我们要确认主必再来！

3. 在恩典和知识上长进

要在恩典和知识上长进，就要更多明白神的真理。并要在日常生活中认识神的恩典，才能在神的法则上行事。

总结：

主必再来！虽然直到如今两千多年了，我们仍在等候中。我们真的要更多读经祷告，明白神的真理‘就是主看一日如千年，千年如一日。’ 随时预备好自己，殷勤忍耐等侯主再到来，才能安然见主面！

2 Peter 3: Being diligence and wait patiently for the return of Lord
GK611 Morning Devotion
31/3/2022
Speaker: IP Daniel + Rev David Tan

Introduction:

This chapter reminds us once again that the day of the Lord is near, are you ready? Can you meet the Lord in peace? Therefore, we must be diligent and wait patiently for the return of Lord!

I. Beware of those who mock the return of Lord (V1-7)

1. Commemorating the words of the apostles (Vl-2)

These two letters remind believers not to be deceived but to remember the prophecies of the prophets, the commandments of the Lord and all the words that the apostles have given to them. Because being blinded will cause them to forget the command of the Lord, the words of the apostles, which is the return of Jesus Christ and facing judgment on the earth.

2. The scoffers following their own lusts (V3-7)

The fake teachers of that time said to the believers: The world is the same, it is as safe as ever, and it will be so in the future. They mocked the word of the Lord, followed their own lusts, greed, or benefits, because of unbelief.

Peter explained that the mocker deliberately forgets the judgment. In fact, there is judgment, and the future judgment is to burn with fire.

II. There will be a new heaven and a new earth in the future (V8-13)

1. The Lord has not returned is due to patience (V8-9)

The Lord will surely return, and it is not a delay, but patience; the Lord will not break His promise, but trustworthy. Because of the Lord's love, He is willing to be tolerant, waiting for more people to be saved, not wanting anyone to perish.

2. Eagerly looking forward to the Lord's return (V10-13)

Facing the return of the Lord, believers should: firstly: you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming "; secondly, live a "holy...godly" life.

III. Preparing for the day when the Lord returns (V14-18)

1. Being diligent and tolerant

We must get up and run after the Lord, and we must pursue and serve the Lord in holiness. Under oppression and pressure, we must stand firm and serve God with diligence and patient.

2. Beware of the deceptive temptation

We need to be able to discern and guard against being blinded and tempted. Say no to those who engage us in bad things because they don't believe that the Lord will return and that there will be judgment in the future. We must confirm that the Lord will return!

3. Grow in grace and knowledge

To grow in grace and knowledge, we must understand more of God's truth, and to know God's grace in daily life, so as to act on God's law.

Conclusion:

The Lord surely will return! Although it has been more than two thousand years, we are still waiting. We must read the Bible and pray more, to understand the truth of God, that ‘with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day.’ Be prepared at any time, wait for the Lord to return with diligence and patience, so as to meet the Lord in peace!
