My Words Will Never Pass Away

Luke 21:29-33

 

The Kingdom Of God Is Near

²⁹ He told them this parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees. ³⁰ When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. ³¹ Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.

³² “Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. ³³ Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

Jesus continues his discourse on the "End Times", warning us that when all the catastrophes his been describing, come to pass, we'll know "it's over."  For centuries there have been earthquakes, and disasters similar to the ones Jesus talked about, and yet NO END YET.  One could look around today, and say, "Yes, this must be it", but the sun continues to rise and set.  It seems there is no way of predicting the final end.  Better we not dwell on it, but rather put our energy into making the present as good, peaceful and loving as Jesus described and gave us the tools to accomplish:  love one another, serve one another, forgive one another, find strength and nourishment to do so in the Eucharist. We have no secrets, we just need the guts and conviction to put these things into practice and make the kingdom of God a reality.
