Luke 21:1~38
THE SON OF MAN COMING, Dr. Samuel Lee
YOU WILL SEE THE SON OF MAN
Passage: Luke 21:20~28
Key verse: 28
1. Escaping the destruction of Jerusalem (20-24)
The siege and destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. showed the characteristics of judgment in the end-times. Jesus saved his disciples' lives by telling them to flee when they saw it coming. Jesus was moved with compassion when he thought about how people would suffer, but he knew it was part of God's plan to usher in the times of the Gentiles. We can escape the judgment coming on the world when we are not too attached to earthly things.
2. Seeing Jesus come again (24-28)
Jesus said that when his second coming draws near, the land, sea, and even the heavenly bodies will be shaken. People will faint with terror over what is happening. But we can walk with our heads held high with the joyful expectation of seeing Jesus. For some people, the end of this age means judgment, but for us, it means our redemption is near-the fulfillment of all our hopes in Jesus.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for giving us the way to be saved from judgment, especially by your death on the cross. Help us to joyfully expect our redemption.
One Word: Be ready to welcome Jesus
