The Day Must Dawn
January 16, 2014
In Second Peter we learn that grace and peace can be multiplied to us through the knowledge of God and Jesus Christ our Lord. We can come into the heavenly dimension and into the knowledge of God, and He endows us with everything we need for life and godliness. Peter explains how, when we come to the Light of the Word, and apply His Word to our lives, the Morning Star rises in our hearts and Christ is born in us.

Read how God gives hope in the face of persecution!
Read about courageous men and women whose faith is flourishing in the face of ISIS and other terrorists. You’ll weep at believers’ suffering and losses . . . and laugh at the creative audacity of indigenous church planters who just won’t take “no” for an answer, whether in the former Soviet Union, in corners of India where Hindu extremists are burning churches, in communist holdouts in other parts of Asia, or in challenging places in Africa and Latin America.

Peter tells us the end of all things is near and in light of that, what kind of people should we be. We should be calm, self-controlled people of prayer; we should be hospitable; love one another, remembering that love covers a multitude of sins. The one thing that distinguishes one person from another is not whether they suffer but how they cope with their suffering. The purpose of suffering is to “make you perfect, establish, strengthen and settle you.”

Peter gives a practical, relational, theological model for marriage; Christ and the Church. The number one problem in Christian marriages is men who will not assume their responsibility to shepherd their wives and children as Christ shepherds the Church. Peter pictures Jesus Christ as the Great Shepherd of the Church. God delegates the responsibility for the marriage and the home to the husband. Follow the Bibles model in all your relationships and allow God to make you all that you can be.

Peter wrote to the Jewish Christians scattered throughout Asia Minor who were suffering and being persecuted. Peter knew the persecution was going to get worse. As Peter addresses their suffering, he did not teach prosperity theology. Peter gave some wonderful insights into why God permits His people to suffer. Peter addresses election and being born again. According to Peter, there is such a thing as spiritual conception, a spiritual gestation period and the crisis of the new birth.

In the New Testament we see three different Peters, but all the same man. In the Gospels his name is Simon, who is up and down, hot and cold, and impulsive, but Jesus called him Peter, a “rock”; after Pentecost we see a Peter who is full of power; finally an old and wise Peter, the apostle of hope. He wants to comfort and console those people in their suffering. The theme is truly knowing God through Jesus Christ.

The theme of the epistle written by James the brother of Jesus, is sanctification that drives life and ministry. What you really believe, you do. All the rest is just religious talk. Works are as vital a part of a living faith as breath is to a living body. James tells us the Second Coming of Jesus Christ will be the ultimate solution to all of the problems we have here on earth. James tells us to take our masks off and be honest with each other.

James tells us about the sources and the sequences of sanctification. Jesus and James teach that the solution for the problem of sin, even sexual sin, is Scripture because the Word of God is alive and powerful. James emphasizes the importance of obeying and applying God’s Word to our lives. James focuses the sources of discipline and that the tongue absolutely must be disciplined. We are to bring our life under the control of the wisdom of God, not earthly wisdom.

Hebrews, “The Mysterious Masterpiece,” more than any other book in the Bible, ties the Old and New Testaments together. The Book of Hebrews presents Jesus Christ as the Messiah Who was prophesied in the Old Testament, as the Lord Who was revealed in the New Testament and as the coming King of kings Who is going to come again. Faith is one of its themes and there are three key words: “better”, “believe” and “beware” that guide our study.

In Second Timothy, Paul is reminding Timothy of instruction already received. Paul instructs that God has a unique plan as to who, what and where we should be. Scripture is a living power, brings new birth and builds up those who have been born again. Paul says, “I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith and, … I have stayed true to Him. I have won the fight and the victor's crown.”

In this session we survey the last letter of the Apostle Paul. As Paul writes his second letter to Timothy he knows his days are numbered. Paul uses illustrations of a soldier, athlete and a farmer to emphasize the disciplined, difficult and patient work of living out the Gospel as disciples of Jesus Christ. There are rules for the life in Christ, and one of them is you must pick up your cross and be willing to follow and suffer for Him.
