Day 69 (Through the Bible in a year readings for today: Deuteronomy 11-13; Mark 13:1-13)
LOVE ISN’T ALL YOU NEED
“But be on your guard... And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” (Mark 13:9&13 ESV)
Jesus warns us, “But be on your guard.” He highlights some very negative things we Christians will face in the last days. He concludes with a statement that is the opposite of what we would like to hear: “And you will be hated by all for my name's sake.”
Most people would prefer to the words of an old Beatles hit. “All you need is love.”
The truth is, human love is not all we need. All we really need is Jesus. He is the only One everyone needs. He alone is THE WAY, THE TRUTH and THE LIFE. Jesus is the only One who died for sinners like us. May you be blessed as you take His encouragement to heart.
“But the one who endures to the end will be saved.”
Dear Lord Jesus, help me to endure to the end no matter how hard it gets. Remind me that even if others may hate me, You will always love. Amen.
