And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand erect, hold your heads high, because your liberation is near at hand.
Lk.21:27,28
Jesus is teaching on the signs of the end-times. Following the upheaval and calamity is the fulfillment of end-times, the coming of the Son of Man. Because the ultimate purpose of end-times is to herald the return of Jesus, believers need not fear. Indeed, we are instructed to stand up and lift our heads.
There is a storm lashing our city as I write. It gives a sense of uneasiness. I wonder, "is it going to get worse? Will there be damage to my home and property?" In a small way it is what the end of time will be like. But the promise of Jesus is that the storm is not all there is. It only heralds a greater thing, His return to take me home. This is a beautiful thing my faith gives me. No matter what the storm I can stand up and lift my head for my liberation is near at hand.
Thank you Jesus for your promise of liberation. Today I stand up and lift my head in search of You.
Little Flower, please pray for me.
