2˝Do you see all these things...

2"Do you see all these things?" he asked. "Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down."

3As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. "Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"

4Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you.

- P94

9"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.

10At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,

11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.

- P95

Jesus’ disciples point out to Him the magnificent buildings of the temple. He tells them that a time will come when all those will be destroyed. Later, the disciples privately ask Jesus for more details about what He said. Jesus tells them what will happen in the last days: false messiahs, wars, famines, and earthquakes will come. As our world spins out of control, Jesus says we are not to be alarmed. These things, He tells us, are the beginning of birth pains. - P96

At the end, there will be the joy of new creation and new life. For Christians, the end of this world is the beginning of the promised age to come. - P96

We are easily captivated by things that hold little eternal value. Let us takeintentional breaks from social media to quiet the constant voices of advertisers,
promoters, and influencers. In that stillness, let us ask God to reveal what Hedesires for us to pursue.
- Pastor Sam An - P97

Lord Jesus, set my mind and heart on the things above. Grant me the wisdom to recognize how transitory and fleeting the things of this world are, and the courage and discipline to seek that which is eternal. In Your name I pray, amen. - P97

27"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.

28In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.

- P90

Jesus delivers one of His most direct and sorrowful confrontations of the religious leaders. His "woes" are not merely condemnations; they are a lament from a heart that grieves over leaders who have misled God’s people. They do not enter the kingdom of God and bar sincere seekers from entering by their false teaching and corrupt example. They make great efforts to attract even one follower, but they lead them to themselves rather than to God. Their disciples become even more hardened and hypocritical than they are. Though outwardly religious, the Pharisees are spiritually dead. True spiritual authority is lost the moment one rejects Jesus. - P88

Authentic Christian leadership always points people to Christ and flows from inner transformation, not external legalism. - P88

Gracious Lord Jesus, guard my heart from hypocrisy and self-centeredness. Help me lead and serve in ways that direct others toward You, not myself. Let my life and words reflect Your truth and character, bringing clarity, not confusion, to those who seek You. In Your name, amen. - P89

11The greatest among you will be your servant.

12For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.

28Now then, at the resurrecti...

28Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?"

29Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.

30At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.

31But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you,

32‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead but of the living."

33When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.

- P73

The Sadducees confront Jesus with a hypothetical story meant to discredit the resurrection—an idea they firmly reject. They appeal to the Mosaic law of levirate marriage, which ensures widows are cared for by a deceased husband’s brother. Instead of valuing the law’s compassionate intent, they use it to mock the notion of resurrection. Their question is not sincere; it is designed to trap Jesus and justify their unbelief. - P74

Like them, we can sometimes approach God with questions shaped more by doubt, resistance, or hidden motives than by a genuine desire for truth. However, we show our trust and respect for God when we seek wisdom and understanding from Him with sincere and open hearts. - P74

Jesus exposes the real issue behind the Sadducees‘ challenge: their ignoranceof Scripture and of God‘s power. Their worldview is limited to what ishumanly possible, leaving no room for divine action beyond the materialrealm. Many still approach faith this way, believing only what fits withintheir own human logic. Jesus corrects the Sadducees by asserting that Godis the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; their physical death did not endGod‘s relationship with them.  - P74

The resurrection is not simply possible; it isguaranteed by the power of the living God. When we are unsure about themysteries of God, we are reminded to trust His Word, believe in His power,
and humbly bring our questions to Him. - P74

Dear God, You know the questions that trouble my heart. I desire to seek Your wisdom with humility and sincerity. Remove any pride or resistance that keeps me from embracing Your truth. Lead me into deeper faith as I learn to trust Your Word. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen. - P75
