Read about It
Read: 2 Peter 3:8–13
Only God the Father knows what day and time Jesus will come back, but we have the promise that Jesus will come back someday. Some people say that Jesus won’t ever come back. But we know that God’s Word is true, and it gives us the promise of His return. While we wait for His return, we have the job of telling others about Jesus. Second Peter 3:9 says God is patient because He wants all people to hear about Jesus and have the opportunity to accept Him as their Lord and Savior..
