Holy Week | Week 7 | “The End Is Near, Pt. 2” (Luke 21:25-38)
SPEAKER: Ben Hyrne, Pastor
Today, Jesus will move from talking about the fall of Jerusalem to the end of days. But do not be mistaken; the Lord doesn't give us a very clear picture of what the Apocalypse is going to look like. His words are like having pieces to a puzzle but no picture for reference. Should we try to make perfect sense of what he tells us, we’ll go mad, or worse, we’ll become anxious and fearful of the future.
What’s more, it is no secret that eschatology can be controversial. Good and godly people throughout history have disagreed about how to interpret Jesus’ words. So, let me be clear: We must come to today's passage with great humility and grace. How we approach this topic will say more about our level of maturity than our level of intelligence.
This passage deals with the future, and, lest we forget, the future is mysterious, since it has yet to happen! Therefore, our conclusions must be held tenuously, so much so that we must remain open to reason and resist dogmatism. We ought to speak where the Bible speaks and be silent where the Bible is silent. This is particularly applicable when it comes to eschatology. When addressing the end times, we should say what Scripture says and then resist the urge to go further.
