YOU WILL SEE THE SON OF MAN
Keywords 21:28
"When these things begin to take place, stand up and
lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."
1. Escaping the destruction of Jerusalem (20-24)
The siege and
destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. showed the characteristics of
judgment in the end-times. Jesus saved his disciples’ lives
by telling them to flee
when they saw it coming. Jesus was moved with compassion
when he thought
about how people would suffer, but he knew it was part of
God’s plan to usher in
the times of the Gentiles. We can escape the judgment coming
on the world when
we are not too attached to earthly things.
2. Seeing Jesus come again (24-28)
Jesus said that when
his second coming draws near, the land, sea, and even
the heavenly bodies will be shaken. People will faint with
terror over what is
happening. But we can walk with our heads held high with the
joyful expectation
of seeing Jesus. For some people, the end of this age means
judgment, but for
us, it means our redemption is near—the fulfillment of all
our hopes in Jesus.
Prayer Lord Jesus, thank you for giving us the way to
be saved from judgment,
especially by your death on the cross. Help us to joyfully
expect our
redemption.
One Word Be ready to welcome Jesus
