These things
have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
The apostle speaks of the seduction so
matter-of-factly that it must have been happening at the very moment. John took
proactive and immediate measures to stop the work of seduction before it had
time to work its wickedness.
I pause to identify the character of
Seduction:
It
is subtle and often difficult to see
This is especially true of the seduced.
It
is flattering and appeals to the ego
Attention given, even by one who should
not give the attention is none-the-less attractive.
It
is sinful
No one is seduced into the right. The very
nature of seduction is to lead away from the right.
It
is destructive
Seduction like all sin when it is
finished leads to death.
Those who are lost are no less seducers
today than they were two thousand years ago. They are more varied and perhaps
more brazen now than ever before. Anyone who knows the Lord should be happy
that there is someone to step in and stop the seduction before it causes
damaging consequences to one's faith.
