Mark 13:32-37, March 27

Mark 13:32-37

Timing. What exactly is timing?

As we read the scripture, Jesus is teaching us of Christ’s second return.

While we don’t know the day or the hour we do know that He is coming again.
God is the only one that knows.

Jesus wants us to prepare for His return.

How do we prepare?

Stay awake and keep watch. Turn away from complacency and be active and steadfast in our faith.

Be disciplined and prepare through prayer, fasting and giving.

Lent is a time to re-evaluate our relationship with God, our family and our service to others.

Timing--“no one knows the day or the hour”. There is a sense of urgency. Christians are urged and encouraged not to worry about the signs of the end but to live every day as the day Christ returns.

The Boy Scout motto is “Be Prepared” and ours should be, too.
