Imagine this…
Imagine you own a million dollar home and vagrants set up camp in your front yard. They’ve moved in with their tent, a grocery cart with all of their belongings…and trash. Not only that, they’ve built a fire on your lawn to keep themselves warm and to cook their food. This all happened right as you’d planned an elaborate dinner party and your guests were arriving. As each guest entered your home, they told you that these vagrants had boasted to them that they owned this million dollar home—and that your guests had no right to traipse through their yard!
Of course, you and your guests would know that this was empty boasting. These vagrants had no rights. It wasn’t their house or their property. These people were wandering and setting up camp in a new place each day. They were empty pretenders.
That’s what Jesus told us to expect in the last days. Boasters. But the root of that word is “vagrant”—people who wander and even claim ownership of things or places not rightfully theirs. Empty pretenders.
Have you met an empty pretender lately?
“For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy…”
II Timothy 3:2
