The Return of the King
In His final hours with His disciples, Jesus promised that even though He was going away, that He would return again. He said He was going to prepare a place for us in His Father's house, that He would come to take us to His Father's home. It was a well-known wedding custom of the day.... A groom would announce his intentions to marry, and then return to his father's home to build on a room where he and his new bride would live. When the room was finished, he would come to the bride's home and escort her back for their wedding celebration. As in many of the stories we've looked at this summer, this weekend's parable comes in response to a question. The disciples asked: "...what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?" (Matthew 24:3). The text, and the surrounding context leaves us with the challenge: Will I be watching and waiting when the King returns? Key Passage: Matthew 25:1-12

The Olivet Discourse, Part 2 (Mark 13:24-27)
Jesus foretells the destruction of Jerusalem but also looks ahead to his second coming. Much scriptural prophecy about the coming of God's kingdom has this already-but-not-yet flavor. While we cannot know when he will return, nor what the exact circumstances surrounding his return will be, but we can be sure he will return. Knowing this should cause us to be looking for his return with eager anticipation, comforted with the knowledge that he is coming, and seeking to walk in faithful obedience to our Lord.

The Olivet Discourse, Part 1 (Mark 13:1-23)
In this portion of the discourse on the Mount of Olives, Jesus prophetically describes to his disciples the destruction of the temple, and the events that will precede it. While these events are long past, there is clear application for us today. We must be on guard, not to be led astray by false teaching and not to fear persecution or the happenings in the world around us. Instead, we are to trust in God's sovereignty and grace, and live our lives by the power of the Holy Spirit.
