Re:Verse passage – 2 Peter 3:1-7 (day five)
“that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles.”
Here we have again, another call to remember. Peter goes from fiery (Chapter 2) to focused (Chapter 3). From who the false teachers are (character) to what they’re actually teaching (content). We need to be reminded that what Pastor Peter wants them to remember is not a small nugget of trivia tucked back somewhere in the Old Testament, but rather a chief doctrine that runs throughout the scriptures (as Peter mentions- prophets, Jesus’ words, apostles teaching). Did you know (from precept austin): over 1800 references to the Lord’s return appear in the Old Testament, more than 300 references in the 260 chapters of the New Testament, 23 of the 27 books have references to the 2nd Coming. Remembering helps us think, hope, and live for God’s glory!!
