“Straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near” (28). Jesus warns the disciples of Jerusalem’s destruction. They are not to fear (9), because these signs of war and earthquakes are to be expected in a fallen world. These events are NOT an indication of God’s absence. He is with us and ultimately “not a hair of your head will perish” (18).
As believers we will live in a tumultuous world. We can have confidence that our lives are not defined by a world hell-bent on evil, but on His word “which will not pass away” (33). His promise is that He will return and make all things right. We can be confident, heads high that He will redeem our world.
