—2 Timothy 3:1-9
by: Andrew J. Camenga.
Jannes and Jambres were probably two magicians of Pharoah's court. If they were, they saw their staffs-turned-serpents eaten by Aaron's staff-turned-serpent. As they continued to oppose Moses, they discovered that they could not compete with the power of God.
Paul warned that there are people who hold to a "form of godliness, although they have denied its power" (v. 5). Take this warning to heart. God did not place us here without power; he has given his Spirit and lets us know the one who is Truth.
