The Whole Story: A Life in God's Kingdom, Part ThreeBài mẫu

Daily Reflection: Mark 13 takes place on Mount of Olives, where Jesus proceeds to give what scholars refer to as the “Olivet Discourse.” In this teaching, Jesus addresses questions regarding the end times and the signs that will precede it. In the beginning stages of this teaching, Jesus warns of nations in conflict and natural disasters popping up all around the world. Even so, Jesus sits on the Mount of Olives, the very place he will return – see Zechariah 14 – calmly knowing that the end is nothing to fear because it will be the beginning of eternity with his family. Daily Demonstration: When you think of the end times, how do you feel? It’s not crazy to think that it could be scary. Jesus, however, modeled that there is no reason to fear the end when you’re in the family of God. Why? Because our hope is anchored in eternity alongside our king. Take time to examine the realities of the end of the age. Ask God to give you peace and a fresh perspective on the new beginnings it will present.
