The Discourses of Jesus – God Sent His Son
We see the beauty of Jesus as the Truth in his encounter with Nicodemus. The sinner does not grasp the truth and in fact hates it unless the Lord opens his eyes to see.

The wicked refuse to worship or give thanks to the Lord. The most evil sin of man is his refusal to acknowledge or give thanks to God. One day the Christian's worship of the Lord will be what the Psalmist describes here - the giving of loud, glad, joyful praise to the Lord.
John shows us that when Satan is loosed, he will bring the Antichrist and the False Prophet to power. The devil's one world kingdom is coming.
The Antichrist is at work even though Satan is bound so that he cannot deceive the nations and establish a worldwide kingdom. But the spirit of Antichrist, which is the devil, is very much at world now. We must be wise and know how to recognize him and see through his elaborate and deceiving disguises.
The remarkable reformation effected by King Josiah shows us what reformation really is.
This is a sermon by J.C. Ryle in which he shows how vital it is for every Christian to know God's Word and carefully evaluate all doctrine and practice in its light.
The Antichrist will come with satanic power to perform lying signs, wonders, and other works of power in order to deceive those who have not loved Christ and His truth.
In learning about the Antichrist, the Christian must not be troubled nor fearful. We find very comforting words from the Lord here in John 14 - Let not your heart be troubled.
The man of sin, the Antichrist, will come to power for a short time just before Christ comes again. He will set himself up in the visible church claiming to be the messiah of God. His religion will be the only religion tolerated in the world.
