Reflection on Mark 13

Mark 13: 1-37

“Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. Everyone will hate you because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. (vs. 12-13)

Jesus is the BETTER friend: He will faithfully rescue all who have placed their lives in his hands.

The troubles and persecutions of life will be distress-ful and it will seem like all is lost, but Jesus has redeemed and will sustain ALL who have trusted Him with their existence.

“At that time people will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens. (vs. 26-27).

…...

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. (vs.31).

Jesus is the BETTER promiser: Who keeps ALL his promises, whose prophecies come true and who does not lie or give false hope to anyone.

May we see the glory and power of the promises Jesus has made and lean on them throughout our lives.
