Hope in the Face of Devastation l Luke 21:5-24 l Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor
🏛️✝️ The passage reflects on the destruction of Jerusalem’s Temple in AD 70, symbolizing the end of an era. Despite the devastation, there’s a message of hope – a new, glorious way through Jesus, the New Temple. The narrative emphasizes the significance of the Temple as God’s dwelling place and introduces the concept of Jesus as the New Temple, with believers as the living temple. The teaching includes warnings of false prophets, wars, persecutions, and the ultimate destruction of Jerusalem. The four practical ways to find hope in Jesus amid devastation are: 1) Don’t be deceived, 2) Don’t be afraid, 3) Don’t miss the opportunity to bear witness, and 4) Don’t give up – enduring leads to eternal life. 🌟🙏
