Dear Young Christian:
We are marching forward, and getting into the second month of 2015. Wow! I still remember when the 21st Century began, and we hung up the 2000 calendars. There was a lot of hype, a lot of speculation and excitement, as well as a good deal of trepidation and even fear as to what would happen with our computers and electronic devices.
As for me, I was sure we were about to experience the Lord’s coming, and here we are fifteen years later, and it hasn’t happened yet. But that doesn’t mean that the promise has failed. No indeed, the Bible plainly states: “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to usward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). He is waiting for more people to be saved, and we can be thankful for that.
And remember, this might be the week, or even the day, when this promise becomes a reality.
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
