Watch Your Focus (13:1; 5-23; 24-27)
Be careful of a false focus.
(13:1)
Notice their focus here.
The beautiful buildings of worship.
Place your focus on Him (13:5-23)
Check out the language in this passage:
The Bible says “watch out, or take heed” in verse 5.
“Be on your guard, or watch out for yourselves” in verse 9.
And again, “watch out or take heed” in verse 23.
You see, people are following preaching sensations instead of the paschal lamb.
More people can tell you what TV, radio, or Internet pastor said than are reading God’s Word on their own.
“Watch out!”
Many will deceive you.
People spend more time tracking wars, natural disasters, and moon phases than are behaving as a 1 Peter 3:15 believer!
The word for “watch out, or be on your guard” in verse 9 carries with it the meaning of, “really pay attention.”
The same word is used in Acts 1:9
Be on your guard.
I talked to a pastor friend this week and he was telling me that he has a family member that always wants to attack Christianity and the church.
He said, “I thought of so many things I could have told him, but they were on the way home!”
We shouldn’t be snarky, or have a quick “come back” line.
We need to ready do what Mark 13:10 is telling us.
“Watch, be on your guard!” Verse 23 tells us that He’s warning us ahead of time that there WILL be trouble.
Don’t form political action groups if you don’t have a Bible study group!
Don’t spend all your time talking about the end of the world and judgment-talk about sin, The Judge, and His redemption plan for lost sinners.
Friends, watch your focus.
Keep it on Him.
Watch For Judgment (13:28-31)
Christian, notice the references to the fig tree here.
Remember the earlier reference?
He then goes into the temple to cleanse it.
Next, Peter notices the fig tree.
We see in Mark 11:27-33 that Jesus tells the reader through not answering the priests, scribes and elders, that He has all authority.
The temple was about to be destroyed.
The physical temple, where the people met God would be destroyed forever.
There was another temple that would be destroyed as well.
Jesus’ temple-His body.
The difference is that His temple would be raised up again, never to be destroyed again.
Take a look at Mark 12:1-12
He reminds them that with authority, comes judgment.
Now then, let’s look back to 13:28-31.
These things: what things?
Verse 6 “many will come in My name.”
Verse 7 “wars and rumors of wars.”
Verse 8 “nation will rise against nation.”
Verse 8 “earthquakes, famines, and troubles”
Verse 9 “you will be delivered to councils and brought before kings on account of Him”
Verse 10 “the Gospel will be preached to all the nations.”
Friends, “these things” are there that people will come to Christ to escape the coming judgment!
The judgment is real!
During this season of Advent (parousia- second coming), remember that we celebrate the coming of the Messiah.
The Savior
The Perfect Lamb, who is also
The Alpha and Omega,
The Beginning and the End,
The Great I Am!!
God said this through Jeremiah 14:10
He also said this Jeremiah 16:16
He intends on gathering His people, but they need to understand they are under HIs judgment.
Friends, God has found us guilty too.
God’s judgment is on all mankind
Are you busy fishing for men?
Watch For the Master (13:32-37)
By Praying (33)
Pray for yourself.
Pray that you’ll study to show yourself approved.
That you can discern the times as you prepare yourself for His coming.
Pray for your church.
Pray for those who are in leadership positions and those who serve through serving the community and sharing the Good News.
Pray for those the church is able to minister to each week.
Pray for the lost.
There are lost in our churches.
These are the hardest ones to reach.
Pray for them to soften their hearts.
Pray for the lost in your homes.
Often, we aren’t reaching those in our homes because not only do they not hear the Gospel from us, they don’t see any change.
Pray the lost you come in contact with each day.
Pray before and after you share a word or a tract.
Pray with them right then.
Pray for those you aren’t able to talk to.
By Remembering Our Task (34)
He has given all authority to us to go and make disciples.
We each have our work and field of ministry.
What’s yours?
How are you fulfilling your task?
By Being Ready (35-37)
Some will try to tell us the end will come when a certain meteorite passes.
Others said it was a special moon or eclipse.
Some have tried figuring it out through Biblical dating while others have used their extra-Bibilical literature to do so.
You don’t know when the Master is coming.
Watch.
Be ready.
If the trumpet were to sound and God were to call His children home today, would you be ready?
Have you repented of your sin and put on the Lord Jesus Christ?
If not, you stand guilty before a just judge.
You owe a fine that you can’t pay.
It can only be paid through the blood of Jesus Christ.
