THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Part 61: Destruction & Persecution |
|
|
Jesus left the temple, and as He stood on the massive
temple ground complex, the disciples desired to show Him the other
buildings. Instead of being impressed, the God-man flatly told them
it would all be destroyed in the future. Jesus spoke about deception
that would occur with false messiahs, wars, rumors of war, famines,
pestilences, and earthquakes. As if that wasn’t bad enough,
Christians would be hated, persecuted, and killed. There would be
betrayal and hate within the body of Christ. False prophets would
arise and subvert many. The rise of lawlessness and persecution
against the church would cause many to walk away from the faith. Yet
Jesus promised salvation for those who endured to the end. Why would
the Son of God allow so much persecution? Simply put, humanity is
proving God’s righteousness and the Devil is going to contest every
believer in Christ. |
