'Jesus on the Future'
Scripture
text: Luke 17:20-37
The Coming of the Kingdom
20 Being
asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is
not coming in ways that can be observed, 21 nor
will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God
is in the midst of you.”[a]
22 And
he said to the disciples, “The days are coming
when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not
see it. 23 And
they will say to you, ‘Look, there!’ or ‘Look, here!’ Do not go out or follow
them. 24 For
as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so
will the Son of Man be in his day.[b] 25 But first he must suffer many things and be
rejected by this generation. 26 Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be
in the days of the Son of Man. 27 They were eating and drinking and marrying and
being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood
came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot—they
were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building,
29 but on the day when
Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them
all— 30 so
will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day, let the one who
is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them
away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back.
32 Remember Lot's wife.
33 Whoever seeks to
preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it.
34 I tell you, in that
night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left.
35 There will be two
women grinding together. One will be taken and the other left.”[c] 37 And they said to him, “Where, Lord?” He said to
them, “Where the corpse[d] is, there the vultures[e] will gather.”

1. If the true and living God really speaks to humans, it is only wise to want to hear Him clearly.
2. Jesus said, “The Kingdom of God among you IS.”
3. The judgement of the living God must fall and will fall on every person. The question before me is, “Will it fall on me as I deserve, or, by God’s grace, will it fall on Jesus in my place?”
4. Canadian moral relativism robs life of true meaning. Biblical relativism clarifies and reveals true meaning in life.
5. I am the adopted and reconciled child of the crucified King who walks with me now and who will come again, so good things with eternal meaning can be done today and tomorrow and every day until the End.
A. Jesus of Nazareth, Son of the Living God, Messiah, have mercy upon me and be my only Saviour and my only Lord today and to eternity.
B. Jesus what good things will You have me do today for the good of people and for Your glory?
C. Jesus, help me to do small, thankless acts of love in light of Your presence and Your return.
- Rev. Canon George Sinclair
