What did Peter say to those who mocked Christianity because Jesus was not back yet?

Peter wrote, “Don’t overlook the obvious here, friends. With God, one day is as good as a thousand years, a thousand years as a day. God isn’t late with his promise as some measure lateness. He is restraining himself on account of you, holding back the End because he doesn’t want anyone lost. He’s giving everyone space and time to change.” (The Message, II Peter 3:8–9)
