A Warning From Jesus!

“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”-Matthew 24:24

How many times has someone claimed more power than they actually have?  Didn’t some refer to Obama as their “savior”.  As the world hurls towards tougher, more difficult times, many will crave someone who can “fix” everything on earth. As Christians, we must guard against these emotions.

Because that that was never in the Plan. 

Jesus came to make a way for us to go to His Kingdom-Heaven.  And He did!  Jesus did not come to “fix” things here.  That idea was the road block to faith that many in Israel faced over 2,000 years ago.  Many thought that when their Savior came, He would “fix” things in this world.  And that all the injustices and hurts that they faced on earth would be ended.  But that was just not true.  Not then and not now.

And so, we as Christians must be very careful that we are not deceived.  And it’s easier to be deceived than one thinks.  When times are really tough and we just want them to get better-a part of us may subconsciously wish to be deceived just so the difficulties will end.  But they won’t end!  Sure, temporarily it might feel like they ended, but that is only temporary.  They will get much, much worse! And they will last forever!

So what are we to do.  One thing we can do is Pray.  Pray NOW not to be deceived in the future.  We can ask God to “hold on to us, in Jesus Name”, no matter what!

And we can study God’s Word so that we know what Jesus’ Return will look like.  For example, in Revelation 1:7-9, it says:

“Watch! He will come in the clouds. Every one will see him. Those who stuck a spear in him will also see him. All the tribes on earth will cry when they see him. That is the way it will be. Yes it will!”

“For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night”-1 Thessalonians 5:2

These are just two verses about Jesus’ Return. Find them all and hide them in your heart, for you may not have access to a written Bible when He Returns!

God’s Word tells us how we will know that it is Jesus Returning, we just have to listen ?
