Core Truth: The purpose of Christ’s disturbing words about the end of his age was never to frighten us as His followers. Rather, it was to prepare us to live our lives in ways that can offer real hope and deliverance to a troubled world.
Scripture: Luke 21:25-36 New International Version (NIV)
“There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near" . . .
