Our paragraph topic is: (Christ warns them not to be led astray) Part 11.
Do not be led astray. Do not panic. Do not follow others in their fear to escape what they believe is the coming doom. For they do not know the truth of what you know, what you are given, the wisdom and knowledge that the Lord has given you. Christ told his disciples beforehand what would happen, so they knew what to expect. They had some idea of what was coming and how to deal with the unknown. They were at peace.
He told them there would be rumors of war, that nations would turn against nations and kingdoms against kingdoms. He told them that there would be pestilences and famines coming, so beware. He also warned them: "And earthquakes in various places."
So these would be the events they would look for, the events they would see that would give them the indication that maybe the end was approaching. They were the witnesses to the truth of his words. They were the scribes to what was spoken by him of what was to happen. The disciples are the living witnesses of what is to happen at the coming of the end.
Has it happened already? If not when will it happen? Will we know? Can we stand by these words of wisdom spoken by Christ written by the disciples? Do we believe in these words? Do we believe what is written of the coming of the end and will we as readers be led astray? The words are written for all to read for themselves. Do you know the signs? Do you believe that they will come during your time? I pray that if they do you will be ready.
Read the sign of the times! Read the Highlighted New Testament Bible and lift the scales from your eyes that you may see, that you may know, that you may find the truth of who you are in Christ. Read it as though you would read a good book, from cover to cover, and see for yourself. Do not study it in parts reading one passage nd then skipping to another, but read it for understanding. Read it for knowledge. Read it for faith. Read it that your eyes may be opened, that your ears may hear, that your heart may be filled with the light of Christ . The Holy Spirit awaits you. Christ seeks to know you. Open the door and let him in.
