THE GREAT DECEPTION

I am begining to realize that the great deception is making people buy into the notion that Jesus Christ is a prophet.

By repackaging Jesus Christ they took away the Christ truth. The truth that Christ is THE CHRIST, THE MESSIAH. Result...a flock of people who do not seek after this Messiah.

A flock of people who choose to be lost.

Of course the CHOICE was not there.

No choice. because they bought the deception.

Well, let us ponder on what Jesus our Messiah said... I am posting this in a language that is relevant to this deception.

Matius 16:13-17

16:13 Setelah Yesus tiba di daerah Kaisarea Filipi, Ia bertanya kepada murid-murid-Nya:
“Kata orang, siapakah Anak Manusia itu?”

"Who do people say the Son of Man is?"

16:14 Jawab mereka: “Ada yang mengatakan: Yohanes Pembaptis, ada juga yang mengatakan: Elia dan ada pula yang mengatakan: Yeremia atau salah seorang dari para nabi.”

"One of the prophets"

16:15 Lalu Yesus bertanya kepada mereka: “Tetapi apa katamu, siapakah Aku ini?”

"But who do you say I am?"

16:16 Maka jawab Simon Petrus: “Engkau adalah Mesias, Anak Allah yang hidup!”

"You are the Messiah, Son of the Living God"

16:17 Kata Yesus kepadanya: “Berbahagialah engkau Simon bin Yunus sebab bukan manusia yang menyatakan itu kepadamu, melainkan Bapa-Ku yang di sorga.

"Be joyous because it is not man that revealed this to you, but My Father in heaven."
