Jesus replied, “Don’t let anyone mislead you, for many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah.’ They will deceive many.”
Key Thought
False messiahs will be plentiful! That’s Jesus’ message. Even more frightening than counterfeit messiahs, many people will be hoodwinked by them and led away from the true faith. Unfortunately Jesus’ words have been profoundly true through the ages. Good people have been led astray by evil or deluded leaders. Jesus doesn’t want us to focus our eyes on anyone but him. All others are false.
Today’s Prayer
Righteous Father, please help me see through the deception and charisma of false religious leaders. Keep my heart reserved only for your Son as my LORD. In his name, I pray. Amen.
