My Worship Time Focus: Clouds
that were Carried with a Tempest
Bible Reading & Meditation Reference: 2 Peter
2:17b
Message of the
verses: “clouds that are carried
with a tempest;”
Since this is a very short sub-point I will quote what
Dr. Wiersbe has to say about this portion of this verse.
“The picture is that of clouds of fog or mist being
driven by a squall over a lake or sea.
Clouds ought to announce the possibility of rain, but these clouds only
announce that a windstorm is coming.
Jude’s description is, ‘Clouds they are without water, carried about of
winds’ (Jude 12). Again, there is noise,
motion, and something to watch, but nothing profitable happens. The farmer sees the clouds and prays they
will empty rain on his parched fields.
The false teachers have nothing to give; they are empty.”
It is a terrible thing to have a false hope when you
think that your hope is real. The false
teachers of Peter’s day and of our day will receive a harsh penalty from the
Lord for leading people from the real truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It was planned in eternity past that God
would send His Son to planet earth to become a man the God/Man, and that He
would live on planet earth for 33 years in a human body. His ministry began around the age of 30 years
old, and lasted for around 3 years as He told the children of Israel that He
was their Messiah and that they should believe in Him. They did not believe in Him, they rejected
Him and thus crucified Him as He hung on the cross to pay for the sins of the
world, to offer a free gift to those who would accept it. Many people still turn their backs on our
Lord and yet are willing to listen to false teachers who teach the lies, and
they believe them. Don’t believe the
lies of false teachers, believe that the Lord came to save you, confess that
you are a sinner, put your trust in Jesus alone Christ for salvation and you
will be saved.
