(Lesson 5283)(07-24-26) Mark 13:31-37
“Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.”
In today’s quote, Jesus emphasized that His words are permanent, outlasting heaven and earth, but noted that no one except God the Father knows the exact timing of His return. Using the illustration of a homeowner who goes on a journey and assigns tasks to his servants, Jesus commands His followers to stay alert, be diligent, and spiritually prepared so they are not caught unprepared when He returns. ~
