Mark 13: 24 – 31
In the context of our present world, we are reminded of the enduring relevance of Jesus’s words. The passage speaks of upheaval—darkened skies, falling stars, and cosmic disturbances—that echo the turbulence and uncertainties we face today, whether through global crises, social unrest, or environmental challenges. Yet, amid this chaos, Jesus reassures us that his promises remain unshakeable. The fig tree’s lesson encourages us to remain vigilant and discerning, to recognise the signs of change not as reasons for fear, but as calls to deeper faith and hope. As the world around us shifts and sometimes seems unstable, this scripture invites us to anchor ourselves in Christ’s unwavering word, trusting that God’s faithfulness endures beyond all earthly turmoil. What is left to say? Come Lord Jesus come.
