Be Ready for Christ's Return Lesson Scripture: Mark 13:1 7,24,27,32-35 Lesson Aims: To relate the events that precede Christ's return, to accept the fact that no one can pre dict exactly His return and to live as if He will return todayl Background: Jesus has mad6 His tri umphal entry into Jerusalem (chap ter 11). During that week. He teach es many lessons. From the fig tree incident (11:12-14) to the woman with two coins (12:41-44). Jesus instructs the disciples and thwarts the Pharisees: Herod the Great began to remodel the temple not because of his belief but he needed to appease the Jews. Great effort was put into his venture Upon comple tion about 9 BC. This was a com plex of buildings, porches and courts. It took up one-sixth of the old city of Jerusalem (UMI). It was a sight to behold! For the Jews, it symbolized the only place worthy to worship the one true God, security for the believers and the influence the Jews had with the Romans. For the Romans it symbolized their might and their wealth. As Jesus and the disciples left this place, %e < disciples raised the issue of its mag nificence. * Lesson: Jesus' response to the state ment was simple ? it will not last (paraphrased). The four (v.3) asks "when will this take place? What sign will there be?" Once again. He teaches them further, saying that many will come deceiving you. All kinds of rumors will be spread, yet that isn't the end, just signs that it is near. In verses 8-28, Jesus continues to disclose "the signs" that will be evident as the end approaches. Not forgetting their original question. He then responds by telling them that no man knows the day nor the hour. Even the angels don't know! Take note, be warned, just be ready. Jesus likens His return to a person leaving his household for a trip. All the servants are given duties to per form. They are expected to fulfill those responsibilities They are to do what was commanded and watch for the person's return. Application: The disciples sensed that SQmething was about to hap pen They continued to believe that Jesus was going to establish a king dom here on earth. Now they want to know when. No doubt Jesus' response to their question shocked them! Not only would the massive complex called the temple be destroyed, but the stone rejected by the builders for the temple will be the corner stone of the lasting church. How often do we hold fast to our ideas when confronted by God? Like the disciples and the people waving the palms during His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, we are looking for heaven right here on earth. We are caught up on being in the inner circle by having some mys tical knowledge. We know some thing that others don't, therefore our position is elevated. Over and over again, the scriptures admonish us to be obedient. Don't concen trate on when will the end come, just be ready There have been numerous occasions where folk have predicted the end. People quit their jobs, sold their possessions, and unfortunately took their lives because the end was seemingly at hand. The world as we know it is still around. Jesus tells us that no one knows Is it too simple for the highly sophisticated mind of the 20th century? It is as plain as our faces There is no hidden message, no code to break, just live as if He is coming right now! Because God is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient what good will it do to attempt to deceive Him? Each new day granted us by God is a blessing. We get one more chance to get it right. If everyday is viewed that way, then we become committed stewards of His creation. That committment is taken so seriously that there is no time to ask, when. There is enough time to live right eously. Why concentrate on those things that are out of our hands? ? *. w t ' ? , - Sunday School Lesson Mlldrmd P?ppmri . I I ?? ?
