Passage: Matthew. 24:29-31*
29. "Immediately after the distress of those days" 'the
sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the
sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.'
30. At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky,
and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the
clouds of the sky, with power and great glory.
31. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they
will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
Questions
1. Why will the nations mourn when Jesus comes again?
2. How will they see the Son of Man if all the lights have gone out?
3. What would you like to be doing when all this happens?
Practical help
Just spend some time meditating on the scene that is described here.
Does it give you a sense that there's a power greater than your struggles with sin? You do
have access to that power, through prayer, meditation, reading of the word, fellowship
with other believers, and through his divine grace. To help you remember that Jesus is
coming again, print it out, cut it out, and tape it to your computer monitor.
