2nd Peter
The theme of Peter’s second letter is ‘finishing well’. We
have come this far, let’s not give up now. We have been
given ‘exceeding great and precious promises’ (1:4),
and Peter’s desire is that, holding fast to those promises,
we might have an ‘abundant entrance’ (1:11) into the
kingdom, not spending our inheritance on things of no
eternal value. We also have the ‘more sure word of
prophecy’ (1:19) acting as a light to guide us home.
This light is so important because of the coming darkness;
just as there were false prophets in Israel that led the
people into apostasy, and ultimately captivity, so will
there be in the church (2:1). These will seem to be genuine
and sincere believers, but they will use feigned words and
will take more than your money (2:2). Yes, they will be
judged, but not before they have led many astray (2:18-21).
We must remember that this world is not our home, Jesus
is coming back, and our hope is not to save mother
earth, but to dwell in the new heavens and new earth. Hence
we should continue to live holy and godly, looking for and
hastening the day (3:11-12).
