Mark 13:1-13

Mk. 13:3-This discussion took place only with Peter, James, John, and Andrew…they wanted to know when these things would take place and what sign will be given that they are to begin.
Mk. 13:5-8-Jesus warns them to be careful to not be misled…because there will be both false prophets and false signs.
Mk. 13:9-11-There will be attacks on believers…but the Holy Spirit will guide you in what to say.
Mk. 13:12-13-This attack will come from those near to us, as well as from those we don’t even know…and you will be hated by many.
Prayer: Lord, please help me to have the wisdom to know the truth. Sometimes the attacks are not frontal, but much more subtle. Help me to recognize them all. And Lord, please help me to love You more…than all others…no matter who they may be. That I will stand with You, regardless of the cost.
