Stay Awake!
Read the Story
One of Jesus' disciples said, "Teacher, see what kind of stones and what kind of buildings!" Jesus said not one stone would be left on another. Later, on the Mount of Olives, four disciples asked when this would happen.
Jesus told them not to be fooled by people who say they are Christ. Wars and hard times would come. His followers would be treated badly. But Jesus said, "The Good News must first be preached to all the nations." He promised the Holy Spirit would help them know what to say.
Jesus said the Son of Man will come in clouds with great power and glory. No one knows the day or hour. He told a story of a man who left home and told the doorkeeper to keep watch. "Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you don't know when the time is."
