How to Survive the End of the World
Read Mark 13
Today’s Truth
If you look at what we watch and what we read, our culture is obsessed with the end of the world. Some have a theory as to how it will happen — zombie apocalypse, alien invasion, Jesus comes back. Others have a plan for exactly when and where they think it will all go down.
In Mark 13, Jesus gives us a vivid description of the signs of the end of the world as we know it. He includes important details, warnings, and instructions for those who love and obey Him. You might already have a bunker set up, but what does Jesus say we’ll need to survive?
Discussion Questions
- Does the imminent approach of the end of the world make you uneasy or fearful? Why or why not?
- Who is Jesus to you and how is that affecting how you live your life?
- How does listening to the Holy Spirit and reading the Bible help us live our lives now and not just in the end times?
Application
Jesus warns us about the future, not to scare us or to distract us, but so we will know how to live in the present. Desire to grow closer to Jesus day by day, and our actions and attitudes will be a sign to this world that Jesus is alive and that His return is near.
