The Thief That Comes to Steal, Kill, and Destroy (It’s Not Who You Think It Is)
Many Christians speak about Satan as the thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. While he is successful at all of those actions, Jesus was speaking about a different thief in that context, and it is one that you need to be mindful of today.
