Luke 17:20-37.
Luke 17.20-37
God's Kingdom
Some Pharisees asked Jesus when God's kingdom would come. He answered,
"God's kingdom isn't something you can see. There is no use saying,
'Look! Here it is' or 'Look! There it is.' God's kingdom is here with
you."
Jesus said to his disciples:
The time will come when you will long to see one of the days of the
Son of Man, but you will not. When people say to you, "Look there,"
or "Look here," don't go looking for him. The day of the Son of Man
will be like lightning flashing across the sky. But first he must
suffer terribly and be rejected by the people of today. When the Son
of Man comes, things will be just as they were when Noah lived.
People were eating, drinking, and getting married right up to the day
when Noah went into the big boat. Then the flood came and drowned
everyone on earth. When Lot lived, people were also eating and
drinking. They were buying, selling, planting, and building. But on
the very day Lot left Sodom, fiery flames poured down from the sky and
killed everyone. The same will happen on the day when the Son of Man
appears. At that time no one on a rooftop should go down into the
house to get anything. No one in a field should go back to the house
for anything. Remember what happened to Lot's wife. People who try to
save their lives will lose them, and those who lose their lives will
save them. On that night two people will be sleeping in the same bed,
but only one will be taken. The other will be left. - Two women will
be together grinding wheat, but only one will be taken. The other will
be left.
Then Jesus' disciples spoke up, "But where will this happen, Lord?"
Jesus said, "Where there is a corpse, there will always be buzzards."
Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ down
to die on the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days
later you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into
my heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
God bless you.
