Family Devo: 2 Peter 3

When partnering with your family to know, love, and follow Jesus, we strive to create and share content filtered by the Head-Heart-Hands model.   


Head: the knowledge of God and His Word | Heart: the personal connection from scripture | Hands: a missional mindset  

HEAD

In 2 Peter chapter 3, the apostle Peter addresses the believers, reminding them of God's promise of the return of Jesus. Peter reassures the readers that God's timing is not like human timing, and even though it may seem delayed, it is because of His patience and desire for all to come to know Him.  

HEART

Peter encourages us to remember that God's perspective and timing are vastly different from our own. We can find comfort in the fact that God desires everyone to come to repentance, showing His immense love and patience towards us. In moments of uncertainty, we can hold onto the promise that Jesus will come again, fulfilling God's ultimate plan. 

HANDS

Knowing that Jesus will return should motivate us to live lives that reflect God's love and grace. While we wait for His return, let us be diligent in sharing the Good News of salvation with others, extending God's invitation to enter into His family. Just as God patiently waits for people to turn to Him, we too should demonstrate patience and kindness towards those who have yet to know Him. Let us show the world what it means to be part of God's family by treating others with love and compassion. 

Prayer: God, we know that You are the true living God! As we wait for Your return, I pray we will be ambassadors for You, Jesus. I pray we tell of all you have done in our lives so that others will come to know, love, and follow you. We love you, Lord. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen.
