Why Does God Delay His Return?

Summary

The sermon addresses the theological question of why God delays His return and allows suffering in the world, focusing on divine patience and the redemptive process. The key scriptural reference is the understanding that God is patiently waiting for sinners to come to repentance before returning, with the ultimate goal of bringing people into His kingdom. The practical takeaway is that God's seeming delay is actually a sign of His kindness and active work of sanctification, encouraging believers to trust in His broader plan even when waiting is difficult.
