Answer:

This comes from Mark, but what chapter and verses?

__:__-__And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

*Some people might not believe that this is a real threat today, but it is a very real danger today. Take for example the Christ of liberalism...he is not the real Christ. Some may think that the liberals preach the Christ of the Bible, but they do not. Here are some of the statements about the Christ that liberals make: Christ was not virgin born, never performed any miracles, did not shed his blood for the sins of the world, was not raised bodily from the grave, did not ascend into heaven, and is not coming again bodily. According to the Bible there is no Jesus like the liberal preaches. The Bible testifies to the fact that Jesus was virgin born, He performed miracles, He shed His blood for the sins of the world, was raised bodily from the grave, ascended into heaven, and you can be sure that He will come back again bodily some day! These are cardinal facts that the Bible clearly claims about Jesus and so we can safely say that the Jesus of liberalism is not the real Jesus the Bible proclaims. Any other Christ other than the Christ the Bible proclaims is a fake. The apostle John had this to say: “Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.” (1 John 2:18). There are a lot of antichrists, and I have only focused on one here, and today you can see why our Lord gave us this warning.

Weekly Scripture 6-1-2025

Answer: John 4:14

This comes from the gospel of John.

__:__But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

*Do you remember the account of Elijah going to the brook Cherith and being fed there by the ravens; found in 1 Kings 17? After a while the brook dried up due to lack of rain water. I cannot help but think of a great spiritual lesson that we can all get from this account. Just like that little brook that dried up, we too are empty brooks and do not have any water of life in us apart from the Word of God. A brook is a small channel in the ground where water flows, and that is just what we become when we live our lives for God and the Word of God is present in us. So, when we go about our daily lives; let us be channels of living water that bring blessing to those around us.
