So like a lot of what Jesus says - you read it and go - hmmmm......
What exactly does that mean? We will be looking at Jesus as prophet tomorrow night in worship, and some of what is written in Mark 13 connects with that. Jesus tells his followers not to worry when put on trial before national leaders - the Holy Spirit will give them the right words. The definition of a prophet was someone who had a word from God. He seems to say there will continue to be prophetic voices into the future. But he also warns that just as there were true and false prophets in the past, there would continue to be true and false prophets in the future. It's nice to know when we don't feel we have the right words to say, that the Spirit will have them for us. (at least as a preacher, it's a comforting though!) So what do you make of these words attributed to Jesus in Mark 13?
