Mark 13:1 - 20

The followers of Jesus ask Him some pointed questions about the future.  When will certain events occur?  How will we know when to expect what?  These are questions that many still ask today.  Jesus' response was to not worry about the events themselves; their mission was to endure faithfully.  The promised Holy Spirit would guide them through even the most difficult events and provide protection for them.  The observant obedient follower would be well-prepared, for his preparation would not be based on the events around him, but the work done within him.
