Passage: Mark 13:14~27
Keyverse: 26
1. Be on your guard (14-23)
Jesus predicts the fall of Jerusalem as well as the end of time. Those who are on guard paying attention to Jesus' warning would survive. We must flee to the mountains, leaving all the things of this world behind. We should pray in such days. God would shorten the days of suffering for the sake of the elect. We should not be deceived by the false messiahs who claim to be the Christ. We are the most blessed because Jesus foretold all these things so that we may be on our guard.
2. The Son of Man coming in clouds (24-27)
Following all those distresses, even the sun, the moon, and the stars will be darkened. But at that time of agony, we will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. The end of the world will be the glorious day for all the elect. He will send his angels to gather his elect from all corners of the heavens and the earth. No elect will be missed on that day. But for the nonbelievers, that day will be their most terrible day of forever destruction.
Prayer: Lord, to live by faith in this world is to face a series of suffering and distress. However, the day of your coming will be very soon.
One Word: Come Lord! Our Messiah! Come quickly!
