Thursday, September 10

The desolating of [Jerusalem] has drawn near.—Luke 21:20.

 

The destruction of the Jewish system of things, which Jesus had foretold, was approaching. Christians needed to use the time remaining to prepare themselves by building up such qualities as faith and endurance. (Heb. 10:25; 12:1, 2) We are about to face a tribulation far greater than the one experienced by the Hebrew Christians. (Matt. 24:21; Rev. 16:14, 16) Consider some of the practical counsel that Jehovah provided for those Christians that can benefit us too. The apostle Paul encouraged his fellow believers to dig deeper into God’s Word. (Heb. 5:14–6:1) Using the Hebrew Scriptures, Paul reasoned with his brothers on the superiority of the Christian way of worship over Judaism. Paul knew that increased knowledge and a deeper understanding of the truth would equip those Christians to identify and reject false reasonings so that they would not be led astray. w24.09 8-9 ¶2-3; 10 ¶6

You can't walk with God while holding hands with the Devil.
