Take Heed

Jesus Prepares his followers for the end

The Disciples asked the question- When

Jesus’ answer was- Take Heed

He gets to the anwer of we don’t know in verse 32

But the answer is to take heed

As Christians we are not to be living a lackidaisical life but a life of purpose and action

One action of a christian is one of defense

Protecting ourselves from the lies and traps of this world

Ephesians 6:11-20 the armour of God

Take Heed from deceit (5-8)

Many will come claiming to be the Christ

But there is only one Christ and when he returns he will come in victory

Until then we should not be surprised to see nations fighting against nation

Many will claim to know the end of all things

hearing of wars or rumours of wars

be not troubled

Take Heed from giving up (9-13)

Many believers will be beaten and persecuted

This is for Christ’s sake

We will suffer just as he suffered

Many will hear the gospel before the end comes

The old testament believers asked how long

But we endure that the gospel will be proclaimed to all people and that we will be saved in the end

Take Heed from earthly comforts (14-31)

Many will be comfortable in cities with their lives going as planned

Having babies, planting and reaping

But in the day of judgment do not go get any of it because it will all be destroyed in the end

Even the sun and the stars will come to there end

The disciples were amazed that the temple stones would be destroyed, Jesus reminds them that it all is temporary

The only eternal thing is the words of Jesus Christ (30)

Take Heed from sleep (32-36)

We must all watch and pray as we wait for the hour to come

We have been given a work to do, let us not be found lazy

We have been given authority, let us use if for his glory

Many will not be prepared for the day of the Lord

Take Heed means to watch for the day of the Lord
