Hidden promise
Mark 13.1-8In response to a disciple’s admiration of the Temple, Jesus predicts its complete destruction. He warns his followers against the attractions of leaders who make empty promises. Rather than be overwhelmed by what must take place, we’re told not to be alarmed – just as joy comes following the pain of childbirth, these earthly pains hold the promise of God’s kingdom to come.
Sometimes it’s hard to find a path through troubling times, and we often flounder in the face of real difficulty. It can be helpful to be reminded that what we are going through almost certainly has been experienced before, and there is much wisdom from those who have gone before us that can sustain us until the light appears once more.
This week we explore finding a path through difficult times.
