Week 9 - The Journey Day 2
"Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away." Matthew 24:34-35
Listen to Jesus give a teaching, He doesn't mince His words, He gives clear and concise directions for His disciples. "As he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately and said, "Tell us, when will this happen, and what sign will there be of your coming, and of the end of the age?"" Matthew 24:3 In the last days it will not be easy for His disciples.
We are not in these times yet but are well on our way. Discipleship comes at a cost and we are to be prepared for such a time. One of the reason I believe Jesus answered them in the way that He does. He acknowledges the power of evil and we must recognize the signs of the times. "False messiahs and false prophets will arise, and they will perform signs and wonders so great as to deceive, if that were possible, even the elect." Matthew 24:24
Even the elect can be deceived but the good news there is still time. There is nothing to be afraid of for God prepared His disciples for such a time, the reason He speaks of it. When we listen to Jesus, He enters in and there is a peace that overcomes all tribulations. That doesn't mean they go away, it means we will be prepared for them. His disciples go to Him for the answers and He is never far away when we call out to Him.
What is God saying to me? You are surrounded by beauty, remember My Love penetrates all evil.
Dear Father I thank You for the beauty that is before our eyes, for the opportunity to hear Jesus speak to His disciples and give them peace in times of tribulations. Father help us learn to trust You in all things and know just as Jesus did, that You will never forsake us. Love is stronger than any evil that will come against us. Help us see the importance of listening to Your voice. Prayers for a young lady seeking peace in her life, You know the answer to her situation. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Spouse of Mary, Pray for us.
