Jesus will return to This World

Reference

Mark 13:32-37

Introduction

Jesus had spoken to his disciples about future events. The crowds were not with them. He told his d isciples to be very careful. Some people would speak to them, but some of the words would not be true. He said that different bad events would happen. There would be wars. People would be hungry.

Jesus said that there would be bad people. They would make his disciples stand in front of the rulers. Jesus told the disciples that they should speak about him. After this, things would become really bad. People would say that they themselves had come from God. But they had not come from God. Then the sun would become dark. After all these things had happened the people would see Jesus. He would be very powerful and beautiful. God would bring together all the people whom he had chosen. They would come from all places in the world.

Men and women would not know when these things would happen. Only God would know when these bad events would happen. Jesus said to his disciples, 'make everything ready and watch carefully'. He would come, and it would surprise everyone. So, many men and women would not be ready.
