2ND Peter 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts.
You know, I've read this passage many times, but never has it hit home like it did this morning as I was reading it. You would think when scoffers are mentioned, that it's some evil person. Some anti-Christ, that you have never met nor heard of. You don't think of it coming from your own family members.
You see, I was having a conversation with a family member recently. She and I both have phones that have speaker features. And because it's easier to hear each other on speaker, we had the speakers on. Well her adult sons were overhearing our conversation, which was on Christ's coming. Her two son's and one of her daughter in laws started harassing us on our beliefs. Making fun of us for believing the Bible. They were saying such things as Jesus was not coming etc. The fact that they were scoffing at us, was not as hurtful as the thought that if they don't change, they will be loss in their sins, and left behind when Jesus does come back. I guess we all have family members of this same sort. It hurts us all that they are turning their backs on Jesus. I have learned in life that you can say all you want, to these people that you love so very much. But all in all, It's the Lord that will have to deal with them. All we can do is pray often and earnestly for their salvation. I hope each of you will pray for them as we all pray for each other's loss family members. Until next time God bless and God save
