people in the Bible: Demas by ric Gustafson
Demas traveled with Paul. When Paul wrote the book of Colossians, Luke and Demas were there. Paul mentioned Demas in Philemon 23 -24. But something happened. In 2 Timothy 4: 9-10, Paul laments that Demas had forsaken him. According to Paul, Demas was a deserter. Demas abandoned Paul and his ministry. It was not mentioned what he left Paul for.
God does not want us to be a Demas. We need to work for God now rest later.
