Matthew – the
Gospel of Fulfillment Chapter 24 Misleading
This chapter has to do with what can be expected to
happen between the death of Jesus and His second coming to establish His
kingdom. We’re all interested in what
the future holds and many are fascinated with “the end times.” It’s so easy in a passage like this to get
caught up in the minutia and miss the most important message – verse 4 – “See
to it that no one misleads you.” In 28
verses, the warning not to be misled is repeated 4 times and other expressions
such as “falling away” and “love growing cold” are mentioned as well.
Satan and this world in which we live are all about
misleading us, and presenting opportunities for us to make bad choices. Jesus’ indicates the right way – “the one
who endures to the end will be saved.”
Meaning, by faith believe that Jesus’ death on the cross was for the
forgiveness of your sins and hold onto that faith tenaciously until death takes
you from this life.
Although there is no indication of this in the Bible,
imagine if people in hell could sue Satan for misrepresentation, libel and
false statements? Unfortunately, it will
be too late for any just settlement.
Make your choice of direction now.
