Mark 13:28
Jesus was always teaching. He used things in the environment around him to illustrate Scriptural truths. The disciples were familiar with the fig tree and how it grew and bore fruit. He didn’t have to go into any long explanations on that. He simply stated the fact as they were. They could generally tell what time of year it was on the basis of the stages of the tree’s growth.
Heavenly Father, you have given us your truth right where we can get to it. It is accessible. Thank you! Your many blessings fill our lives with joy and peace in spite of difficulties. Your great power is a comfort to us, for we know you hold tomorrow. I will praise you forever for your loving kindness, and for your truth. I the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
