King for a Day

The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe   and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!”  And they slapped him in the face. – John 19:2-3

Crown

. Some people crown Jesus King to mock him

. Some people crown Jesus King to please the crowd

. Some people crown Jesus king to serve Him

What’s my role here?

The Spirit of Antichrist

. The Spirit of Devastation – Daniel 8:24

 He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy those who are mighty, the holy people.

. The Spirit of Slandering – Revelation 13:6

It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven.

. The Spirit of not remaining with the Saints – 1 John 2:18-19

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. 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.

. The Spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus’ coming in the flesh – 1 John 4:2-3

This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh  is from God,    but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist,  which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

Prayer

. Loving Father, please be with the new Christians in our church. Use me to be a source of encouragement to them and strength for them. May my life always be a positive influence on them and other new Christians as well. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
