11/23 Luke 21:37-38
Every day Jesus went to the Temple to teach, and each evening he returned to spend the night on the Mount of Olives. 38 The crowds gathered at the Temple early each morning to hear him.
HEAR
In Jesus day the people flocked to Hear Him. He had the words of life. His teaching wasn’t like the religious, His teaching gave light and life to the hearers. Today HEAR Jesus as you read His Word. Listen as the Holy Spirit quickens your spirit. The Lord is near.
11/22 Luke 21:34-36
“Watch out! Don’t let your hearts be dulled by carousing and drunkenness, and by the worries of this life. Don’t let that day catch you unaware, 35 like a trap. For that day will come upon everyone living on the earth. 36 Keep alert at all times. And pray that you might be strong enough to escape these coming horrors and stand before the Son of Man.”
ALERT
Be on the alert. Live your life wisely. Be ready today for we know not the day or the hour when Jesus is coming back. He is Lord of all and we love and serve Him.
11/21 Luke 21:32-33
I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass from the scene until all these things have taken place. 33 Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.
WORD
You can trust the Lord and His Word. His Word is active, living guiding us to Jesus and enlightening us as the Holy Spirit gives wisdom. Read the Bible. Seek to know Him. His Word strengthens us and leads us to Jesus.
11/20 Luke 21:29
Then he gave them this illustration: “Notice the fig tree, or any other tree. 30 When the leaves come out, you know without being told that summer is near. 31 In the same way, when you see all these things taking place, you can know that the Kingdom of God is near.
NEAR
The Kingdom of God is near, nearer than at any time in history. Jesus is coming back and it will be very soon. Jesus is Lord. Jesus saves. He is here.
11/19 Luke 21:28
So when all these things begin to happen, stand and look up, for your salvation is near!”
SAVES
Jesus saves. He saves us right now. He saves us all of our life. He saves us unto eternity. A relationship with Jesus is a forever relationship. The wonderful part is that when we surrender our life to Him and accept His wonderful free gift of eternal life He holds us eternally. We belong to Him and He saves us.
11/18 Luke 21:25-27
“And there will be strange signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. 26 People will be terrified at what they see coming upon the earth, for the powers in the heavens will be shaken. 27 Then everyone will see the Son of Man coming on a cloud with power and great glory.
THEN
When Christ comes back, then we will know that it is the end. All of us will see Him at exactly the same time. None of His children will be overlooked. He loves you and is coming for you. Jesus is Lord.
11/17 Luke 21:21-24
Then those in Judea must flee to the hills. Those in Jerusalem must get out, and those out in the country should not return to the city. 22 For those will be days of God’s vengeance, and the prophetic words of the Scriptures will be fulfilled. 23 How terrible it will be for pregnant women and for nursing mothers in those days. For there will be disaster in the land and great anger against this people. 24 They will be killed by the sword or sent away as captives to all the nations of the world. And Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the period of the Gentiles comes to an end.
TRUST
Trust the Lord. Life is hard and in the End Times will get harder. Trust the Lord for He will not forsake you. He knows you. He knows where you are and what is going on in your life. Jesus is Lord. Trust the Lord!
11/16 Luke 21:17-20
And everyone will hate you because you are my followers. 18 But not a hair of your head will perish! 19 By standing firm, you will win your souls. 20 “And when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then you will know that the time of its destruction has arrived.
SOMEDAY
Someday the end will come but not this moment. Sometime all of this Earth will come under the absolute and complete renewal by the Lord Jesus Christ but not this moment. It can happen whenever the Lord decides. He will protect us unto eternity. Do not fear for Jesus is here with us. He is alive. Jesus loves you.
11/15 Luke 21:14-16
So don’t worry in advance about how to answer the charges against you, 15 for I will give you the right words and such wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to reply or refute you! 16 Even those closest to you—your parents, brothers, relatives, and friends—will betray you. They will even kill some of you.
STAY
Stay focused on Jesus. Troubles come and go. Persecution unto death may be on the horizon but do not fear-Jesus is here. He is alive. He loves you. He stands with you. He will give you the wisdom, courage and strength you need to stand in the hour of your greatest need.
11/14 Luke 21:9-13
And when you hear of wars and insurrections, don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place first, but the end won’t follow immediately.” 10 Then he added, “Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and plagues in many lands, and there will be terrifying things and great miraculous signs from heaven. 12 “But before all this occurs, there will be a time of great persecution. You will be dragged into synagogues and prisons, and you will stand trial before kings and governors because you are my followers. 13 But this will be your opportunity to tell them about me.
TELL
Tell everyone about Jesus. Tell them what He is doing in your life. That said we must develop that close personal relationship with Jesus. He is Lord and He wants to have a relationship with us. Listen to Jesus. He is speaking.
