Possibly the saddest verses in the whole bible! "Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted me…"
Demas was on Paul's church planting team. He personally observed miracles and saw the spread of the gospel throughout the known world. He was on the inner circle….YET his heart was never really "in love" with Jesus. He chose the present pleasures of this life over God's heavenly kingdom. What a fool. What a D_m _ As_!
God help us all to stay the course and finish the race of faith. Our hearts are deceptive and pursue foolish and temporal things. It is so easy to get caught up in this life and forfeit the life that is to come. It is not how we start. It is how we finish.
