Mark 13:22
There will be those who simply claim to be prophets, whereas others will claim to be Messiahs. And, in these cases we must know that signs and wonders will not indicate anything. This is quite interesting in that all prophetic activity must now fall in line with Christ and his cause. The future has been told to such an extent that a pretender is hard pressed to stay in the mold. So, it is really easier to tell the impostors in this age because of the identity of Jesus. Because we know the True Messiah, it is easier to discern a false one. However, in spite of this, we are told here that many will be taken in by these pretenders.
Heavenly Father, thank you for Christ! He makes it all different. He is the test of fellowship, and he is the measure of truth. It is reassuring to be able to line up behind his standard. We don’t have to live in darkness, never knowing who may be true. Though we are not able to judge everything, we can at least know the Spirit and the form of the church. Christ keeps us on the straight and narrow. When we misunderstand him, then we stray from the way. All the praise goes to you for your wonderful plan dear Father! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
