1. Jesus says that the “kingdom of God” is within us. So, what are we really praying for when we pray, “Thy kingdom come…”?
2. Jesus talks about how He is going to go away. And, His coming back will be quite dramatic. Before that, though, He says that He’s going to suffer.
3. Jesus uses the stories of Noah and Lot to allude to the fact that people will be clueless about what’s going on up until the day that Jesus returns.
4. Jesus will come back; and, when He does, people should not seek anything else but to follow Him. Lot’s wife turned to a pillar of salt instead of experiencing salvation because she longed for her life back in Sodom.
5. This part of the Bible reminds me of that DC Talk song about being ready.
6. What do you think it will look like when people are taken to be with Jesus? Do you think it will be the “rapture” that people describe, where people up and disappear?
7. What on earth is Jesus talking about here with the vultures?
So…if Jesus says no one is going to know when He will return, why do people obsess over trying to figure out when Jesus will return?
