17 Nov 2019 - Rev. David Pileggi, in looking at Luke 21, speaks about the difficulty of eschatological passages. Has this section already been fulfilled? Is it yet to come? Is God done with the Jewish people? God himself is in control of history and works in the midst of sinful Jews and sinful gentiles. Also, God is not forgetful of covenant with Jewish people. If we remember God's faithfulness, we don't have to be afraid of what is to come. Let us prepare spiritually by keeping in mind that when Jesus talks about endurance, we don't have to do it ourselves. Faith is a gift, and Jesus is with us to the end of the age.
