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

Daily Reflection: Perhaps one of the more alarming aspects of Jesus’ Olivet Discourse is his mention of the tribulation that will occur in the end times. Although the realization of such a frightening event on a global scale can be overwhelming, it is essential to remember what Jesus mentions in verse 20, “but for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days.” In other words, if not for God’s intervention, the consequences of such an event are dire for everyone. For those whose loyalties lie with King Jesus, however, the outcome looks different. Why? King Jesus is our deliverer, our provider, and he stays faithful to his promises. Thus, while the tribulation may seem terrifying, God’s people do not have to fear because King Jesus will fight on our behalf.

Daily Demonstration: Have you ever considered the implications of Jesus being your provider and deliverer? True to his character, these are attributes that Jesus never steps away from. In the end, they will result in saving grace to provide eternity for his family. But what do his deliverance and provision look like for you today? For your family? Jesus is the same today and tomorrow – ask for a vision of his character and be ready for an incredible experience!
