Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
INTRODUCTION: Luke 21 is filled with information on what the world will be like when Jesus returns. It is a sobering thought that you can read through this chapter of the Bible and then turn on the news and usually see more than one news item that matches an event or occurrence that Jesus described.
I am not surprised that there is trouble in the Middle East. It is no shock to me that our waters are being polluted and sea life is being destroyed. When I hear of an earthquake or other major disaster I am not caught off guard. The Bible has told us explicitly that as the end nears these things will come to pass.
As a Christian we should be aware of the events that are to take place before the return of Jesus and instead of being afraid we should be looking up with anticipation. He is coming back. He is coming back to judge the world and to hand out punishment. Thankfully He is coming back for His own first to take them out of this world.
The first "up" for us as a Christian is that we should be looking up because surely our redemption is drawing nearer.
