Mark 13:1-13
In today's world, there's plenty of
bad news - but there's also Good News (Mark 13:10). The end and the
beginning (Mark 13:7-8) - The end of sin and the beginning of salvation.
The final outcome is certain, but there is still "the great
tribulation" (Mark 13:19). Beyond that, there is the coming of our
Saviour (Mark 13:24-27). Jesus speaks about our enduring to the end
(Mark 13:143) and our being "God's elect" (Mark 13:20,27).
"Mine
eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord ... Glory, glory,
hallelujah!" Where does such faith come from? Does it come from
ourselves? No! It comes from the Lord. It is given to us by the Lord.
What are we to do with the faith that He gives to us? - We are to keep
on believing. We are to keep on walking with the Lord in the way of
faith. We do not do this in our own strength. We are kept by the power
of God.
"You must watch" (Mark 13:23) - This is the call to
continue in the way of faith. "I have told you everything in advance" -
This is the Word of truth that keeps us walking with the Lord on the
pathway to His heavenly and eternal glory.
Good News - "Christ
Jesus came into the world to save sinners" (1 Timothy 1:15); "God showed
His love for us in this - While we were still sinners, Christ died for
us" (Romans 5:8).
