Read and Think

Luke 21 begins with a lesson about giving. Rich people put large gifts into the temple box. A poor widow gave two small copper coins. Jesus said she gave more than everyone else, because she gave all she had. God sees the heart behind a gift, not just the amount.

When people praised the temple's beauty, Jesus said it would be torn down. The disciples asked when. Jesus warned them not to be fooled by false teachers or frightened by wars and disasters. His followers would be arrested and even betrayed by family. Yet not a hair of their head would perish without God's care, and their endurance would show their faith. Jerusalem would be surrounded by armies, and they should flee.

Jesus also spoke of the end of the age. There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. Then people will see the Son of Man coming with power and great glory. When these things begin, His followers should look up, because their redemption is near. Heaven and earth will pass away, but His words will not. So they should stay alert and pray.
