The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 201

Luke 21:7  –  So they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?”

Matthew 24:3 – Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”

Mark 13:4 – “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?”

Jesus, the Christ of God/Messiah

Luke 21, Matthew 24 and Mark 13 is a major subject and discourse among the many found in the gospels. All are important, very important to the Jew first and then to the Gentile. The events that the LORD Jesus discusses with His disciples are concerning His nation and prophesy from Daniel, Ezekiel and others who provide truth from God in the scriptures of the Old Testament. Times and seasons in the Word of God do not change, just as the promises and prophesies of God do not change, the writer of Psalm 119 states in verse 160 puts this in perspective when he wrote – The entirety of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever.

We will be taking a tour, not a detour through the gospels, Daniel and Ezekiel, the Psalms and other related passages as we seek to understand the answers that Jesus provides to the two questions of His disciples. The two questions are found in all three synoptic gospels which give answers and importance to the subject. The gospel of John provides us with the purpose to believe that JESUS is the CHRIST/MESSIAH the Son of God and that by BELIEVING you may have abundant and eternal life.

Let me say again, a disciple is a learner and follower; and in this case, these disciples are disciples of JESUS CHRIST/MESSIAH. These are not His apostles even though the apostles are with Jesus and the disciples. The point – multitudes of men, women, and children are with the LORD Jesus (Just a few, less than 72 hours before His death on the cross, and imagine if you will, less than 144 hours from His resurrection). These are the last Words to be spoken to His followers as He prepares Himself for the sacrifice as the Lamb of God, for your sins and mine.

And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?” Matthew 24:3 – Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be?

And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?” Jesus, the Christ of God/Messiah Yesterday we looked briefly at the First coming of the LORD Jesus, born of the virgin Mary, suffered and crucified, killed by the power of sin of which we all had and have a part in. He rose from this death; He is alive again . The apostle Paul writes, “For I deliver to you first of all that which I also received that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 169 Luke 14:7-14 - So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them: “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him; “and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place. “But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you. “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. “But when you give a fea

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 161.1 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:   Luke 12:1-5 There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. “Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” Jesus, the Christ of God/Messiah An excerpt from yesterday’s devotional: In our passage, the point of the LORD is not that of being a newscaster but placing the death of these people beyond human judgment, in fact; Jesus does not look at the death of human beings as we do. All humans, past present and future will die a ph
