2 Thessalonians 2:9-10 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
We know it’s coming – the Second Coming of Jesus will take place. As surely as He arose
from the dead and ascended into heaven, He will return. Many have been
preoccupied with a timetable for Jesus’ return and some have even been so bold
as to predict a date when this will happen. However from our reading yesterday,
we are reminded that “the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.”
(1 Thessalonians 5:2)
Satan is very crafty and he has been working to deceive
mankind since we were created. He is the Father of Lies and even those who know
Jesus personally and trust in His work on the cross are capable of being
tricked. But especially those who have not trusted Christ (and consequently
don’t have the Holy Spirit to guide them into all truth) are ripe for false
signs and wonders. They have refused to love the truth.
We read in John 14:6 that Jesus is “the way, and the truth
and the life.” No one comes to the Father except through Him. In John 8 Jesus
told his followers, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and
you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32)
Before Jesus returns, Satan will be working overtime. Do you
know someone who needs to be set free?
Introduce him/her to the Truth!
