Sunday, January 4
Things to Come - Mark 13:1-23
Jesus is beginning to share what will be the end of His time on Earth and He is giving hints as to the signals for His return. Jesus is vague and general since He is teaching Workers not Watchmen. He wants us to be alert but not alarmed! Sunday is all about the Gospel – not the end times. The world loves hype but Jesus is teaching hope.
It’s a gospel about hope. It’s a gospel about opportunities and possibilities even in a chaotic world. It’s a gospel about finding meaning and new life in Christ. It’s a gospel about our future! Who among us doesn’t sometimes wonder, worry, or even wish to know about our future and the future of the world? Yet in all this Jesus teaches trust and readiness – not desperation or despair.
Sunday we will listen in to Jesus giving a glimpse into the future but focusing on the applications of prophecy – not to know so much but to be ready.
“Blessed are the homesick – they shall be called home!”
See you Sunday!
