I heard someone recently on a news broadcast on the radio refer to a certain politician as the possible Messiah. We know that in the last days before the Lord Jesus comes that there will be a man that will come to power to rule the world for a short time. That mere man will be the Anti-Christ. This man will get his power and help from the devil himself. Many people will follow that man to their demise. Many people will fall for the lie and be deceived by that man who lifts himself up as is he were a god.
There is only one God and He is the Creator and Sustainer of all things. There is only One Messiah and that is the One the Lord God has sent. The Lord sent Jesus Christ into this world to live a perfect sinless life. Jesus kept the law perfectly and He went obediently to the Cross where He shed His blood for our sins. The is no forgiveness without the shedding of blood. The blood had to flow from a perfect unblemished sinless man and the only One that meets that criteria is the Lord Jesus Christ.
18 Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.
19 They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.
20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.
21 I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth.
22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son.
23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
24 As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.
25 And this is what he promised us—eternal life.
26 I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray.
27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.
-I John 2: 18-27
We must be careful not to be deceived and make sure we are following the truth. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one come to the Father except through Him (John14:6). We must all decide whom will we follow and whom we will trust.
The Lord Jesus Christ offers us forgiveness of our sins past, present, and future. He offers us eternal life to all those who believe in Him for salvation. Jesus Christ is the true living hope that this world needs. We must repent of our sinful ways and receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior in order to be saved. We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus as our Messiah.
The Lord Jesus will return for His Church (All those who have come to faith in Him) and take us to be with Him. He will pour out His wrath upon the ungodly (those who have decided to follow the Anti-Christ and refuse to repent of their sins).
Then One Great and Glorious Day Jesus Christ will return and defeat the Anti-Christ and bring the Kingdom of God to this earth in full completion.
The Day of the Lord is drawing near and we must be ready.
Do you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?
If not, go to Him right now in prayer and receive Him as your Lord and Savior.
He is the Messiah that the world needs.
Lord,
We praise Your Name.
Thank You Jesus for saving a wretch like me.
Thank You for Your love and mercy.
I praise Your Name.
Come Soon Lord Jesus.
In Jesus Name I pray,
Amen.
