FEBRUARY 26 READING…MARK 13
Everybody wants to know what the future holds. It is interesting that we who are bound by time and space want to know what is beyond our present experience. The disciples of Jesus wanted to know what was coming, though we know now that they never saw that future with their own eyes. I don’t know what part of Jesus’ promise of the future we will be able to see with our human eyes, but I do know that whether we are here on earth or in heaven we will experience every prophesied promise from our Savior. The disciples wanted to know when all the things Jesus told them about would come to pass. Jesus responded to His followers by telling them what it would be like in the time of His return. He warned them about the coming deception and that the world will have many false messiahs and teachers. He reminded them of the abomination of desolation that Daniel spoke about…this will be brought about by the Antichrist. There will be a great tribulation, and then Jesus will return in the clouds. Jesus uses the fig tree as an example of knowing what season we are in. Then He answers their question of when…”no one knows the day or the hour”. So, we are to live as if Jesus is coming back at any time. We are to watch and be ready. It will happen suddenly, when no one is expecting…so watch.
Please share your thoughts.
