Christian Devotional – July 7, 2021
The Gospels through the Summer, Day 41 The End. Read Mark 13. When will the end come? That is the question that the disciples had for Jesus. How will we know when the end of time is upon us? So many people ask the same question today. The answer that Jesus gives here has a lot of interpretations that have been given to it over the years. Ultimately what we see here is that God is over all and conquers all. Everything else will pass away. Everything else will fade. Nothing else is as powerful. Only God. What difference is it making in our lives today knowing that God will…

VERSE: John 21:21–When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?” TRUTH: Jesus had pulled Peter aside to speak with him and give insights into his life, yet Peter’s response is to ask what God’s going to do with another person. Are we focused on what God has for us to do, or do we get distracted wondering what God has for another person? God wants to deal with us specifically; we need to be focused on what God has for us specifically. RESPONSE: Father, I want to follow You no matter what others do or what You have for others. You are worthy of my praise and devotion…
