Outline For Scripture Union Daily Guide 30 March 2023
Jesus rebuked the Jews of His time for being able to read the weather signs correctly, but unable to read the signs of the coming of the Messiah (Cf. Matthew 16:1-4). Even today we are good at predicting not only the weather but political and sport events too. However, we are not wise enough to take our Master’s work and prophecies seriously; hence we are slothful at the Master’s work. Notice the warnings in vs.35-36?
When Jesus said He does not know the time of the end, this does not mean He lacks knowledge. God, the Father, who knows the time, is one with the Son. However, when He became man, Jesus emptied Himself of His divine nature with accompanying limitations. As for us, He has given the signs that will point to His return. He also warned us to be on the lookout for these signs.
The signs are all evident around us already. This calls for us to wake up from our slothfulness and diligently labour in the Master’s business (Romans 12:11). We must ensure we are not caught unawares by His appearing (v.37). To be forewarned is to be forearmed!
Practice/Word Application
So What? Reflect on Romans 13:11 and 1 Thessalonians 5:6, then decide what you will do.
• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
Lord, help me to watch and pray in readiness for your imminent return.
