Worship into the Week- The Word Endures

Worship into the Week-

Luke 21:5-28

Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple

Jesus Foretells Wars and Persecution

Jesus Foretells Destruction of Jerusalem

The Coming of the Son of Man

These readings are hard to go through-

challenging, scary, and pointing

 to a really challenging future.

If not in our own generation, 

these predictions

 shadow one to come.

 "And then they will see the Son of Man

 coming in a cloud 

with power and great glory. 

Now when there things begin to take place, 

straighten up and raise your heads,

 because your redemption is drawing near."

Hope returns.

 Seeing Beyond 

what is right in front of me.

Added a tip-in because it goes along

 with the next section of Scripture-

The Lesson of the Fig Tree.

v. 31-"Truly, I say to you, this generation

 will not pass away until all has taken place. 

Heaven and earth will pass away, 
but my words

will not pass away." 

 Found a section of a Lutheran Witness article

 that connected these 2 sections with a bit of history.

 We rest on our Baptism promise, 

claimed and marked with His Word.

"Heaven and earth will pass away, 

but my words will not pass away."

This is from the One 

who must keep His promises.

The "end" of the church year-

also pulls back the curtain on the beginning

 of the waiting of "the coming."
