2 Thessalonians 2: Who is this man of lawlessness?

Rev. George Murdaugh, pastor of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Douglasville, GA, joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study 2 Thessalonians 2.

Paul points the Thessalonians to what really matters: the comfort and good hope through God’s grace in Christ. There were rumors in Thessalonica that Christ had already returned, but the end will not come until the man of lawlessness is revealed. He will be the son of destruction, he will oppose God, and he will say that he is God, but do not be afraid, Christ will have the final victory. The comfort of God’s grace in Christ’s victory will strengthen them in trial and strengthen us today. “Lord Jesus Christ, You have had the victory and have called us to be Your own. Give us comfort, center us back to the revealed Word, and free us to serve in word and deed to Your glory. In Your name, Amen”
