Today we continue our look at the statements of Christ in Mark 13, we find Him answering a direct question in a very indirect way. The disciples want to know when the temple will be destroyed and what the signs preceding the destruction will be. They are all about timing, and Jesus answers with “watch out,” “don’t be alarmed,” and “be on guard.” Why all the encouragement in response to a question on timing? That’s part of what we will wonder about together in this morning’s message.
