« That is the way it will be at the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked people from the righteous »
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as a tried-and-true worker who isn’t ashamed to teach the word of truth correctly.
16 Avoid pointless discussions. People who pay attention to these pointless discussionswill become more ungodly,
17 and what they say will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are like that.
18 They have abandoned the truth. They are destroying the faith of others by saying that people who have died have already come back to life.
19 In spite of all that, God’s people have a solid foundation. These words are engraved on it: “The Lord knows those who belong to him,” and “Whoever worships the Lord must give up doing wrong.”
20 In a large house there are not only objects made of gold and silver, but also those made of wood and clay. Some objects are honored when they are used; others aren’t.
21 Those who stop associating with dishonorable people will be honored. They will be set apart for the master’s use, prepared to do good things.
In the Bible reading for today, the various kinds of vessels that can be found in the house of a great man were identified.
It says that you will find some vessels unto honour and some unto dishonour.
This may make you wonder, why does the great man keep vessels unto dishonour in his house,
why doesn’t he just throw them away ?
This is the same question that many ask when they consider the body of Christ today.
They say, “Why does God not kill all fake pastors ? Why does He not expose all those who are using His name to amass wealth and fame for themselves ?”
The answer to that is in Matthew 13:24-30. Verses 29 and 30CEV and in particular say
« Leave the weeds alone until harvest time. Then I’ll tell my workers to gather the weeds and tie them up and burn them. But I’ll order them to store the wheat in my barn.” »
Our God does not act rashly; everything He does is for a reason.
There are some fake pastors that some genuine Christians believe to be real.
If God destroys such pastors, it could affect the faith of those who are following them.
As such, the tares would have been gathered but the wheat would have unfortunately been rooted up with them.
- Don’t worry about the mixed multitude in the church, God is coming to separate the wheat from the tares and when He does, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
If you claim to be a Christian, yet you are bringing dishonour to the Lord, you better change now.
If such a person refuses to change, that is not a problem.
The fire that will consume him or her is getting hotter every day.
Such a person can keep enjoying the benefits of being called a Christian for now,
however, God is coming with the reward for such deceivers, and on that day, He will take no apologies.
Beloved, if you are one of such deceivers, it is in your best interest to genuinely repent now,
forsake your sinful ways, and truly surrender your life to Jesus Christ.
It is the only way to escape the judgment that is coming for all those that are vessels unto dishonour.
Application – What kind of vessel are you in the Master’s house ?
