Mark 13:1-8 The scripture we study this week begins with Jesus and His disciples leaving the temple. As they do, they begin a conversation in which Jesus imparts knowledge about what is to come and what the disciples are to watch for as time unfolds. All of chapter 13 is Jesus telling them what will happen while also encouraging them in what they should do. This may be a challenging piece of scripture for us in some ways. We may scratch our heads in some places and be utterly dismayed in others. What we always want to focus in on is our Lord, whose presence is forever with us and whose words are given to encourage and help. May we give great thanks to the Savior of our world, who continues to walk with us and show us the way forward.
