John the Revelator describes an element of mankind who endure God’s wrath and signs in the earth, yet remain callous and hardened to Him. They continue on in their sin with no regard for what’s right. They are blinded to the truth.

Jesus addressed the scoffers of His day as being of their father, the devil.

Only God truly knows what is in the heart of man. Our job, however, is to continue loving them and witnessing to them of God’s great plan of redemption. Those who show mercy will reap mercy.

PRAYER: Lord, we sometimes gasp in wonder at those who are so entrenched in their sin. Continue to let Your love flow through us to them. Break up the bonds of sin and open their eyes to the Truth.
