Finding Jesus: He Said "Soon"| Ben Martin

Pastor Ben Martin explores why Jesus said He is coming "soon" – even though nearly 200 years have passed since Adventists began proclaiming this message. Drawing from 2 Peter 3 and Revelation 22:20, Pastor Ben addresses the apparent delay, rejecting simplistic explanations and pointing to God's patient love: He is "not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance."
