Passage: Mark
13:28~37
Keyverse: 31
1. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my
words won't (28-31)
As people knew that summer was near through
observing the fig tree, so Jesus explained about signs in advance that we may
know that the end of the age is near. People will laugh saying, "Where is
this 'coming' he promised? Everything goes on as it is has since the
creation!"(2 Pet 3:4) But as Jesus confirmed, heaven and earth will pass
away, but Jesus' words will never pass away!"
2. Keep watch (32-37)
We should especially keep watch, be awakened
for no one knows that day, not even the angel, nor the Son, but only the
Father. People will either be paralyzed in panic or live a pleasure-seeking
life saying, "Let us eat and drink for tomorrow we die." (Isa 22:13)
But we, his elects must live guarding our hearts with Jesus' peace, carrying
out his Great Commission. We should remember Jesus' word: a master goes away
leaving his house and puts his servants in charge, each with his assigned task
till he would come back anytime. (Mt 24:45)
Prayer: Lord, heaven and earth may pass away but your word will
never pass away. Help me to live in peace, carrying out your Great Commission
faithfully.
One Word: Be a faithful servant who always does his assigned task
