Jesus is WITH His disciples as we enter this passage. As He is “with,” he is constantly teaching, guiding, and preparing them for His physical departure. In this Scripture, He prepares the disciples (and us) for two disparate but significantly linked events, the destruction of the temple and His Second Coming.
This preparation was accomplished in conversation, in relationship. Jesus speaks. The disciples listen and ask questions in response. New truths are given. Let us encourage one another to be WITH Jesus today. Let us remind each other to bring our own uncertainties to the one who can answer and bring light and wisdom into the darkness.
