The Whole Story: A Life in God's Kingdom, Part Three

DAY 24 OF 31

Daily Reflection: Deeper in the Olivet Discourse, Jesus exposes his disciples to the hardships that they will face in the end times. Most notably, Jesus proclaims that people will hate them “because of [Jesus], but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved” (Mark 13:13). Jesus not only teaches this concept in word but walks this very concept out in the coming days. Over the next few days, Jesus himself is exposed to hatred and acts of shame, yet continues to stand firm. This is the character of Jesus – he is consistent with his word and demonstrates the truths he teaches his people.

Daily Demonstration: Life is filled with trials, pain, and hatred. As much as we’d all like for it to go away, it won’t be eradicated entirely until Jesus’ return that we see the kingdom of God fully restored on the earth. Until then, God’s people will face suffering – but suffering that we can stand firm in because of the example of Jesus. What might it look like to stand firm in Jesus, no matter what the circumstance?

About this Plan

The Whole Story: A Life in God's Kingdom, Part Three

Jesus is both fully man and fully God – YHWH in the flesh. Not only does he perfectly model the attributes of YHWH as God, but also the image of God as a human. Jesus is a beautiful model of the Kingdom presented on earth. This plan dives deeply into the character of Jesus, and teaches how to step into the image of God that we were made to be.
