Sermon #254
In his prophetic look at end-times, Mark records for us the words of Jesus to his disciples regarding what is to come at the end of all things. In the middle of what we call the Olivet Discourse, Jesus is telling his disciples then, and us today, that because we do not know the day and hour of his return, we are to be alert, and to wait with great patience. Some translations use the phrase "keep awake," as servants of a master who has gone on a long journey. In the 21st century we have no patience for waiting. Yet Jesus calls on us today to keep awake, to wait, and to look for his coming.
Mark 13:24-37
