Jesus knows the future. He stood in Jerusalem and explained all that would occur at the end of the age. There will be persecution, great tribulation, even the sun will darken. Then, He will return. We can be confident that what He spoke will one day be realized.
Until that time comes, we have been told what to do: “Watch out! Stay alert!”
We know Jesus will return, but we do not know when. We are instructed to continue in faithfulness, continue living how He has instructed until He returns.
As we continue to live out the calling we have in Christ, we can seek to do two things: follow Jesus and increase our faith. As we care for our families, work hard at our jobs, study God’s Word, grow in prayer, gather with other believers, love our neighbors, and help our friends, we can be expectant of His return. Until then, may we remain faithful, proclaiming His name no matter the cost.
Lord, I long for Your return. Help me to remain alert, always watching for Your arrival. Help me remain faithful to You and those You have given me. Help me proclaim Your name no matter the cost until You return. In Your name, amen.

About this Plan
The Gospel of Mark is a powerful account of the life of Jesus. It displays the character of Jesus on every page, from His willingness to suffer and serve to His power and deity miraculously displayed. With every scene the author asks, “Where is your faith?” As we read and study the Gospel of Mark we can’t help but answer this important question.
