The Signs of the Times
Luke 12:54-59
Jesus now continues his teaching by warning his disciples and anyone else who would listen that there is great wisdom in reading the signs of the times.
First, You Need to Recognize That Judgement Is Real.
Yet the people of today pay far more attention to tomorrow’s weather forecast than they do to their eternal destiny.
The signs are there for those who are willing to observe them, and they warn of an inferno of judgment against an ungodly world, a fact which most people prefer to ignore or deny.
Secondly, You Need to Prepare Because Judgement Is Coming.
Having issued the warning, Jesus next in verses 57-59, gives the crowd (and us) some advice on how to prepare for judgment.
You had better settle with him before it is too late.
1. This Preparation Begins with a Sense of Our Sin.
People who have allowed God’s grace to work in their lives mourn their sin, the lost do not acknowledge their guilt.
2. This Preparation Involves Real Change.
“Recognizing your faults and actually changing your ways are two different things, Charlie Brown.”
3. This Preparation Involves Accepting Christ as Your Personal Savior.
