Journey to the Cross: Day 42

The final week of Jesus' life wasn't just a bunch of events. The gospels also record Jesus teaching the disciples often throughout the final week. Since Jesus' time with them was short, he was giving them the final pieces of his heart as he approached his death.

On Tuesday of the week, Jesus was relaxing up on the Mount of Olives with a few of His disciples ( Peter, James, John, and Andrew) and the four of them asked him about the end of the temple. Jesus had made it clear earlier that it would be destroyed. Naturally that was a big claim, so any young jew would be curious for some clarification.

Why don't you read Mark 13:1-37.

Then when you're finished, listen to this.
