In this week's message, Pastor Steve Weisenberger took us through Luke Chapter 21, where Jesus talks about the 'signs of the times.' He explained that Jesus was preparing His disciples for upcoming challenges, like the destruction of the temple and the city of Jerusalem, as well as His triumphant return. Pastor Steve reminded us that these signs are not to predict the exact time of return but to anchor our hope in Jesus' promise of coming back. The signs should inspire us to look up, raise our heads, and remember our salvation is near. Our posture, like an elderly friend Pastor Steve described, should always be toward the returning King. Jesus wants us to focus on His coming, not get bogged down by worldly worries. In summary, we should trust in His Word, watch our lives, and stay awake through prayer, all the while expecting His glorious return.
