Read the Story

Jesus' disciples showed Him the beautiful temple buildings. Jesus said that one day not one stone would be left on another. Later, on the Mount of Olives, the disciples asked when this would happen and what the sign of His coming would be.

Jesus said hard times would come. Some people would pretend to be Christ. There would be wars and other troubles. But He said the good news of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world to all the nations. Then the Son of Man will come on the clouds with power and great glory.

Jesus said, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away." No one knows the day or the hour. So we must be like a faithful servant who keeps working until his master comes home. "Therefore also be ready."
