Unashamed
When He Comes
And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we
may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming. If you know that he is righteous,
you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him.
1 John 2:28-29 (NIV)
***
Prayer Focus: Peter knew he was coming to the end of his life. The Lord
Jesus Christ had shown him that his days on earth were numbered (vs. 14). So
in his final writings and with every last breath, he wanted to keep reminding the
believers of the truths of Jesus Christ. Eventually the eyewitnesses to Jesus life
and His miracles would die, so Peter had an urgency in his writing. Most likely his heart
surged with desperation as he pleaded with fellow believers to keep on believing in
Jesus and His promises. We were not making up clever stories about the power of our
Lord Jesus Christ! Peter saw Jesus with his own eyes, and he believed Jesus with
every fabric of his being. Peter went on to declare that everything the prophets had
proclaimed was true. Pay close attention to what they wrote, Peter pleaded,
for their words are like a light shining in a dark placeuntil the day Christ
appears and his brilliant light shines in your hearts (vs. 19). Let us also stand
firmly and passionately on the truths of Scripture, the words of the prophets, and the
disciples eyewitness accounts. Jesus is truly coming again in majestic splendor!

Christ.
