26.08.05 “A call for Discernment” (2 Thess. 2:9-14)

 

As you look around your world, what are some evidences you see of great power? How about a nuclear power plant producing huge amounts of electricity? Or maybe a rocket launch? Or maybe military power or political power, or even the power of AI? Now here’s an important question: can you distinguish the difference between when power is being used for good, or when power is being used for evil? Over the past few days, we’ve been with the apostle Paul in early 51ad as he is writing his second letter to the Christians in the Macedonian city of Thessalonica. Paul has been trying to correct confusion about the future returns to earth of Jesus Christ, and what we should anticipate will happen each time Jesus returns here. In 2 Thessalonian 2, Paul describes the rise of a very evil man often called ‘the antichrist’ and his global evil influence.
