The End of All is Just the Beginning for God

The Temple was the place where God communicated with his people, and where they sacrificed their offerings to him.  They saw the Temple as God's revelation of Himself on earth; it was where God dwelt with them.

So what a shock it must have been when Jesus said, “As for these things that you see, the days will come when not one stone will be left upon another."

Slight-Of-Hand & Deception

Brain teasers get us interested in something that has nothing to do with the solution, so that we’ll go about trying to solve the wrong problem or trying to find an answer to a question that no one asked.

The Sadducees ask Jesus a brain-teaser with the hope of verbally humiliating him andmaking him look bad in front of his followers.

• Job 19:23-27a and Psalm 17:1-9  • 
 
• 2 Thessalonians 2:1-5, 13-17  • 
 
• Luke 20:27-38

For All the Saints

We, and all the saints, look forward to the day when  God will wipe the tears from our eyes; that day when death, and mourning, and crying, and pain shall be no more.

This is the hope and expectation of all the saints.
