It Won't Be Left Standing!
Some of the followers were talking about the temple. They
said, "This is a beautiful temple, built with the best
stones. Look at the many good gifts that have been offered to
God!" But Jesus said, "The time will come when all that you
see here will be destroyed. Every stone {of these buildings}
will be thrown down to the ground. Not one stone will be left
on another!" Some followers asked Jesus, "Teacher, when will
these things happen? What will show us that it is time for
these things to happen?"
-- Luke 21:5-7 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Jesus has three powerful messages about standing firm in the troubles
of life. The first message has to do with the Temple, while the other
two can be found in the following verses. Jesus' point is that no
matter how beautiful, the Temple in Jerusalem will be destroyed and
left in a rubble heap -- earthly temples made by hands will not and
cannot last. Our finest and most holy buildings won't last forever.
Jesus wants us to know that we must invest ourselves in what is lasting
and be ready for him when he returns in his glory.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Holy God, give me the wisdom and the courage to invest myself in your
Kingdom and things that last. Help me see those areas of my life where
my heart is too attached to things that are not lasting. In Jesus' name
I pray. Amen.
