When these things begin to take place, stand erect, hold your heads high, because your liberation is near at hand.
Lk.21:28
Jesus warns his disciples of the tribulations to come with the end of time. As the world quakes in fear the disciples are to stand up in joyful expectation. Why? Because our liberation is near at hand.
I'm looking out my window on a beautiful spring morning (I live in the antipodes). It's easy to be seduced into believing this is as good as it gets, that this is all there is. This atheistic world view may work when the sun is shining but must become more difficult in the tough times. As the saying goes, there are few atheists in a foxhole.
The end of time prophesied by Jesus is the final foxhole with men "dying of fear", unless... unless there is a King of the Universe in whom we place our hope. For those who believe it will be party time.
Thank you Jesus for your promise of liberation for your followers. I place my trust in you.
