What Does Matthew 24:11 Mean?
Returning to the theme of deception, Jesus warns of false prophets -- those who claim to speak for God yet lead people astray. They will be numerous and effective, drawing many after them.
The danger is not only force from without but falsehood from within, dressed in the language of faith. Jesus calls his disciples to weigh every message against the truth he has given. A prophet is known by fruit and by faithfulness to God's revealed word. Those who hold fast to Christ and Scripture have a sure footing when persuasive voices multiply.
