Re:Verse passage – 2 Peter 1:12-15 (day five)
Saturday was my favorite day of the week. Why? That was the day I most likely could sleep late. I could (in theory) wake up whenever I wanted or needed. Monday thru Friday was an early morning wake-up for school. And Sunday was the consistent wake-up for church. What I remember and want to point out, is that there was always a reason and activity for the “wake-up” announcement- school, church, trip, vacation, sports game, activity. Some were more appealing than others. Yet, there was always purpose and opportunity behind every “wake-up sleepyhead!!”
Same here in the Re:Verse passage. Peter is using the same language. “Stir you up” is the translation for a word used in the context of being woken-up from sleep. And with this wake-up message and action there is good reason. Peter wants to ensure there is attention, focus, activity, and energy needed and given by his readers to this message of the gospel. A good reminder for me to faithfully and continually wake-up and remember the gospel.
