2 Peter 3 - Peter and Sequoias
from CityLife Church
Pastor Pedro brings 2 Peter to a close by reflecting on the Giant Sequoia Trees in Yosemite National Park. Throughout the 1900s, those entrusted to care for the park were alarmed at the lack of new Giant Sequoias sprouting in the park. For decades they searched for a solution to no avail, until one day a forest fire taught them the value of heat in the growth and development of these enduring behemoths. How is it that fire can both bring destruction and life? It seems what Peter’s epistle has been telling us all along is that going through fire with God does not lead to destruction but new life.
