人的日子或主的日子

请我们先祷告

哦，主耶稣！我们为着这末了信靠你，求你赐给我们美好的结束。你是阿拉法，也是俄梅嘎。我们信靠你作我们的结束！

诗歌:766♫

	荣耀的盼望，基督要再临！	与祂同作王辖管列国民，
	且要作祭司事奉永活神，	那时才享受至高的救恩。
	荣耀盼望，基督再临！	荣耀盼望，基督再临！
	我们要被提，贱体变荣身，	荣耀的盼望，基督要再临！

今日经节及注解：彼后三15～18
重点经节
彼后3:9 　彼后3:12	主所应许的，祂并不耽延，像有些人以为祂耽延一样；其实祂乃是宽容你们，不愿任何人遭毁坏，乃愿人人都趋前悔改。期待并催促神的日子来临？因着那日子的来临，诸天被火烧就销化了，所有的元素都要被焚烧而镕化。

生命供应

我们若对主的来临至少有点概念，就会知道为甚么彼得说，主的日子要像贼一样来到。不但主自己要像贼一样来到，甚至主的日子也要这样来到。那日子的来临将是隐密的，不是公开的。

我们已指出，在彼后三章十节彼得说，在主的日子诸天要被火焚烧。这要发生在千年国以后。主的日子要在千年国以前来到，但诸天被焚烧要在千年国以后。因这缘故，我们说彼得特别越过千年国，一千年的期间，并将诸天和地被焚烧看作在主的日子所要发生的最后一件事。

因着撒但的背叛和人的堕落，在诸天之上的和地上的万物，都受了玷污。虽然万有，无论是在地上的、或是在诸天之上的，都已经因基督的血，藉着祂与神和好了，（西一20，）天上之物甚至已经被基督的血洁净了，（来九23，）但在神行政的对付里，万有仍需被火烧尽而得着清理，好在神的新宇宙里，（彼后三13，）不论在性质上，或外表上，都成为新的。因此，我们这些神圣别的儿女，该当怎样为人，有圣别的生活和敬虔；就是，我们该有怎样的变化，照神圣别的性情和敬虔过生活以彰显祂，使我们能彀资格与祂圣别的行政相配！神圣的能力已将我们过圣别的生活和敬虔所需要的一切，供应给我们，（一3，）这是何等奇妙！

我们一面圣别、敬虔的过变化的生活，一面期待、等候并催促神的日子来临。我们既知道神是这样圣别，要将一切销化，我们期待并催促神的日子来临时，就该有圣别的生活和敬虔。我们不但期待神的日子，我们也要催促这日子。（彼得后书生命读经，一二二，一二四至一二五页。）

问答:

1、什么是主的日子？（参读彼后三12注2。）

2、我们该如何期待并催促神的日子来临？（参读彼后三11注1，12注1。）

3、请说明有分于神的性情？（参读彼后一4注4。）

明天:交通乃是永远生命的流出

Man's Day or The Day of the Lord?

Let's Pray:

Lord, we trust in You for this last meeting. Give us a good ending. You are the Alpha, and You are the Omega. We trust in You as our ending.

Hymn:966

O hope of glory, our Christ will return!
Over the nations with Him we will reign,
Priests we will be in His presence to serve,
Thus His salvation in fulness we'll gain.

Glorious hope! Christ will return!
Glorious hope! Christ will return!
We will be raptured, with glory transformed;
O hope of glory, our Christ will return!

Today's Verses and Footnotes: 2 Pet. 3:15-18
Key Verses:
2 Pet. 3:9	The Lord does not delay regarding the promise, as some count delay, but is long-suffering toward you, not intending that any perish but that all advance to repentance.
2 Pet. 3:12	Expecting and hastening the coming of the day of God, on account of which the heavens, being on fire, will be dissolved, and the elements, burning with intense heat, are to be melted away?

Life Supply:

If we have at least a general idea concerning the Lord’s coming, we shall know why Peter says that the day of the Lord will come as a thief. Not only will the Lord Himself come as a thief, but even the day of the Lord will come in this way. The coming of that day will be hidden, not open.

We have pointed out that in 3:10 Peter says that in the day of the Lord the heavens will be burned. This will take place after the millennium. The day of the Lord will come before the millennium, but the burning of the heavens will be after the millennium. This is the reason we say that here Peter passes over the millennium, a period of a thousand years, and regards the burning of the heavens and the earth as the last matter that will take place in the day of the Lord.

All things, both in the heavens and on the earth, have been defiled by the rebellion of Satan and the fall of men. Although all things whether on earth or in the heavens have been reconciled to God through Christ by His blood (Col. 1:20), the heavenly things having been purified by the blood of Christ (Heb. 9:23), they still need to be cleared up by being burned up in God’s governmental dealing so that they may become new in nature and appearance in God’s new universe (2 Pet. 3:13). Thus, what kind of persons ought we, the children of the holy God, to be in holy manner of life and godliness; that is, what kind of transformation ought we to have to live a life in the manner of God’s holy nature and godliness to express Him so that we may be qualified to match His holy government? How wonderful that the divine power has provided us with all things that are needed to live such a life in the holy manner and godliness (1:3).

While we live a transformed life in a holy and godly manner, we are expecting, awaiting, and hastening the coming of the day of God. Knowing that God is so holy as to dissolve all things, we ought to be in a holy manner of life and godliness as we expect and hasten the coming of the day of God. Not only do we expect the day of God—we would hasten it. (Life-Study of 2 Peter, Msg. 12)

Questions:

1. What is the day of the Lord? (See 2 Pet. 3:12 note 3)

2. How should we expect and hasten the coming of the day of God? (See2 Pet. 3:11 note 1, 12 note 1)

3. Please expound how we can be partakers of the divine nature? (See 2 Pet. 1:4 note 5)
