Paul, like all ministers after him have a ministry of reminding. The precious and comforting truths of God's Word fade too easily from our minds and hearts. A knowledge of Christ's second coming is not only important, but to forget it leaves one open to deceitful error. Our text, 2 Thess. 2:5-12, continues Paul's reminder about what to expect before Christ returns. Listen carefully to Paul's description of Christ's sovereignty as we consider the Man of Lawlessness in regard to … 1. His Restraint Remember who controls the Man of Lawlessness (verses 5-7) 2. His Revelation Remember who judges the work and end of the Man of Lawlessness (8-10a) 3. His Disciples Remember the mind and end of his disciples (10b-12).
