Insights on Today's Reading
Mark 13 - Jesus' disciples were captivated with the beauty of the Temple and the surrounding buildings. It was as if this was their picture of God's Kingdom. Jesus made clear that all that man has made will one day be destroyed, verse 2, and by implication, man's achievements pale into insignificance compared with God's coming kingdom! This chapter gives Jesus' famous "Olivet Discourse" in which He speaks of events that would lead up to Christ's coming and the judgment on this earth that will take place. He encourages His disciples not to set any dates when this will happen, verses 32,33. His closing word is good instruction for us today, "Watch!" verse 37.
