That’s why Jesus came (John 3:16-27). That’s why Jesus’ return has not yet happened. So if our desire is to do the LORD’s will and please him in all we do, shouldn’t we be doing something to bring all the people of the world to a knowledge of simple truth about Jesus? This is the mission Jesus gave us (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8). Shouldn’t we do everything we can to help them know his grace and call them to repent and follow Jesus as Lord? “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9.
