Plant A Tree (Matthew 24:34) (Mark 13:30) (Luke 21:32)


IN THE EARLY CHURCH

THE FEELING WAS

THAT CHRIST WAS COMING SOON


MARK SAYS

THIS GENERATION

WILL NOT PASS AWAY

UNTIL ALL THE THINGS

HAVE TAKEN PLACE



SO EITHER WE HAVE A BAD TRANSLATION

OR A BAD INTERPRETATION

BECAUSE

IT DIDN’T HAPPEN



WE HAVE PEOPLE

SEEING THE END OF THE WORLD

AT EVERY BEND OF THE ROAD


THEY SERVE A GOD WHO IS ANGRY

WHO DELIGHTS IN PUNISHMENT

A BOOGIE MAN FOR THE AGES


SUCH A GOD

I WOULD FIND IT HARD TO LOVE


BUT LET’S READ MARK AGAIN


THE MASTER IS GOING AWAY

HE LEAVES HIS SERVANTS IN CHARGE

HE SAYS IN EFFECT

MAKE ME PROUD


BE WORKING WHEN I COME BACK


THAT’S THE ADMONITION FOR END TIMES

BE WORKING WHEN I COME BACK



IT’S LIKE THE FOLK TALE ABOUT LUTHER

IF I KNEW THAT TOMORROW

WAS THE END OF THE WORLD

I WOULD PLANT AN APPLE TREE TODAY



THE KEY WORD

IS STAY AWAKE

AND WORKING



HE HAS LEFT US

IN CHARGE OF HIS KINGDOM


 WE HAVE TREES TO PLANT
