Years ago, I read about a man who took a backstage tour of the movie lots in Hollywood. As he rode the open bus, a tour guide described the various sets. The man was excited when they turned down a street to see the Cleavers house from the “Leave It to Beaver” sitcom. After driving through the neighborhood, the tour bus turned and drove back behind the houses. To the man’s disappointment, the houses were all fake! They were only facades in the front but bare wood and supports in the back! My take-away of the man’s tour? Jesus delivers on His promises, but Satan is a fraud and a liar. Satan never comes through with what He has promised. Satan is a deceiver and always disappoints. Jesus said of the hypocrites in John 8:44, Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” But Jesus said in John 10:10, “… I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” Choose carefully. Choose life.
