Re:Verse passage – 2 Peter 1:8-11 (day three)
“For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins.”
In Peter’s pastoral care, he does not condemn people who struggle; rather, he acknowledges how difficult it is to navigate the world. Who has not felt as though a circumstance or a person or an event or a disappointment or a time of suffering is an unfathomable mystery that leaves one lost and afraid? Peter says, “Yes, people will stumble through darkness when they can’t make sense of the world. But you can learn to see better. Your brothers and sisters – the church – will teach you. Little by little your eyes will adjust to the brightness of the way of Christ.” You were made to see. And you will.
