The Last Days - Part 4 (Mark 13:28-37)
Bob Schultz, February 8, 2015Part of the Gospel of Mark series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
This week we will conclude Mark 13 by looking at versus 28-37 as Jesus warns the generation that is alive at the end of the Tribulation about His coming. In addition, this passage gives all of us today a warning about being on the alert as we wait for Christ to come.
Mark 13:28–37 (Listen)
28 “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. 29 So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, at the very gates. 30 Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
32 “But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come. 34 It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to stay awake. 35 Therefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning—36 lest he come suddenly and find you asleep. 37 And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake.”
