OCTOBER 25  THE JESUS QUESTIONS  

JQ#31 

“Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master 

made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?”  

(Matthew 24:45)

LIVING FOR JESUS - Daily Prayer    

JESUS, the Name that gives Hope to the hopeless, Rest to the weary,

 and Peace to the troubled. Jesus is the only Name that can bring

 us into fellowship with God the Father and bring us Forgiveness

 of our worldly sins, thereby giving LIGHT to our darkness, 

Sight to our spiritual blindness, and Salvation to our lostness! 

Praise God who GAVE His Only Begotten to Suffer and Die 

for a lost and dying world. Lord Jesus, I thank You that You have

 heard the prayers of Your servants and have granted to us Your 

Protection and Your Provisions through Mercy and Grace. May 

Your Name be lifted up and Glorified with the Father

 and the Holy Spirit throughout all Eternity!   

AMEN

THE JESUS QUESTIONS

Jesus Teaches us many Lessons within each Lesson therefore 

we should stop and look at ALL that Jesus is both Teaching and 

“confirming” with His Lessons least we take God 

and His Great Plan for granted.  Jesus has been giving us signs 

of the “end of the age” and His “coming again” therefore we 

should immediately learn that

 

(S1)

 this “age” IS coming to an “end” and 

(S2) 

Jesus, the Son of God Will Return 

to earth from heaven

 at a later date. 

Jesus turned and asked this question to the disciples

 who had just asked Jesus to give them a “sign” of the the end 

of the age and of His Return, 

“Do you not see all these things?” (Matthew 24:2) 

The 3 obvious questions for us to ask now are: 

(Q1)

 “Why” is this “Age” 

going to “end”, 

(Q2)

 “What” is the purpose of Jesus having to come 

down to earth from heaven “again” and 

(Q3)

 “Where” do we look to 

“see all these things”???  

Jesus gives us the answer if we will but

 look at His Lesson a little closer — Jesus had just said that

 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words 

will by no means pass away.”

 (Matthew 24:35)

 and He immediately continues speaking, 

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels

 of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were,

 so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” 

(Matthew 24:36:37) 

There is a wealth of knowledge and confirmation in these

 “words” from the Master Teacher and even as slow as I am, 

I can come up with a quick list: 

(L1) 

Heaven and earth both “will pass away” 

(L2) 

Only the “Power” great enough to “Create” 

heaven and earth is sufficient enough to make it “pass away” 

(L3) 

when Jesus Speaks, His Words are TRUTH and 

TRUTH is Eternal 

for even though the heaven and earth “will pass” that the

 Words of Jesus “will by no means pass away” 

(L4) 

“These things” are part of God’s Plan:

God’s Plan includes: 

(P1a)the creation of the original heaven and earth,

(P2b) the living of this age, 

(P3c) God leading His “Chosen People”, 

(P4d) His “Chosen People” rejecting Him, 

(P5e) God judging His “Chosen People”, 

(P6f) God sending His Son to Redeem the world, 

(P7g) Resurrecting His Son on “the third day” and then 

(P8h) there will be an “end of the age” when the Son returns

 from Heaven and brings the “end of the age” to a “close” —

 “but of that day and hour no one knows…”

 but there is a Plan that has a specific “day and hour” 

already designated by God. 

(L5)

 The Plan includes a “Final Judgement” indicated by the mention

 of “the days of Noah” which was God’s original Judgement on the 

whole earth which is documented in the earliest of writings as God

 plainly gives His reason and justification for destroying every breathing 

thing on earth: “And the Lord said, 

‘My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh…’

 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, 

and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually…

So the Lord said, 

‘I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, 

both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air…’” 

(Genesis 6:3-7) 

(L6) 

God judged the earth in Noah’s day, which confirms that (a) Noah and 

the flood are real (b) and God will destroy the earth and all living things 

because of the “wickedness” of mankind. This one reference to Noah

 by Jesus proves the consistency of God and the fairness of God 

because if God judged the earth once because of “wickedness" then 

He must make a “Final Judgment” and if the reason God destroyed

 the earth the first time was because man’s thoughts were continuously

 evil, then the main reason for “Final Judgement” and the complete 

destruction of “heaven and the earth” will be because man has rejected 

God in his heart and that mankind’s “thoughts are continuously evil” and 

(L7) 

Jesus will be sent to close out the end of the age 

and execute the judgement of the Father!!! 

We read an important explanation of this in the Gospel of John:

 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, 

and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. 

All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was

 made that was made.” 

(John 1:1-3) 

It seems reasonable that the Father would say to the Son — 

“Go down and wrap this thing up and create a completely new heaven

 and earth, they have completely rejected Us and therefore We will

 be completely justified in executing judgement on all mankind 

for the world has once again condemned themselves 

with their selfishness and wickedness.” 

“These things” will happen when the Father decides it will happen 

and my reasoning tells me that after the 

“TRUMPET BLOWS” to announce the 

“coming again” 

of Jesus the King

 that Jesus will “SPEAK THE WORD” 

and “IT WILL BE DONE!” ——— 

Just like God had it PLANNED all along!!!!!!!

JQ#31 

“Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master

 made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?”  

(Matthew 24:45)

LIVING FOR JESUS - Daily Prayer    

JESUS, Lord sometimes Your Blessings are poured out on our Family Night

 in such a marvelous way that it is hard to imagine greater blessings 

yet You have promised us Heaven that is even beyond what we

 can imagine! Lord You are GOOD and I praise You that You have

 opened my eyes that I can see that You are GOOD ALL THE TIME!!! 

Lord, I thank You for the answered prayers for our family and the 

marvelous work You have accomplished in each of our lives and 

my prayer is that You continue to draw each and every family 

member to You for You have proven that there is no family unity 

outside of God but that if we all come to You then we will all 

be ONE WITH THE FATHER and Lord we saw that this week at our 

Family Night as the Fellowship with the entire family was so 

extraordinarily sweet that we knew that You were Present and 

everyone was aware that God was in our home and in our hearts — 

there is nothing better to be THANKFUL for 

than than being in the Will of the Father!   

AMEN

THE JESUS QUESTIONS

Jesus started His details of the “signs” of the “end of the age” to 

be marked by His “Second Coming” with the parable of the fig

 tree putting forth leaves so that we would know that the 

“season of His coming” was at hand and then He gives us

 some facts about the “end of the age” as He first states:

 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words 

will by no means pass away.” (Matthew 24:35) 

It is hard to imagine someone reading that

 “Heaven and earth will pass away” and not be a little concerned

 about the “POWER” that could make both “Heaven and earth” 

and everything contained in them go “COMPLETELY AWAY”!!!  

There is a clue to the “source” of the power to destroy both heaven

 and earth when you read the Words of Jesus that say,

 “heaven and earth” can be destroyed but that 

“My Words” cannot be destroyed — 

which in my simple mind is like the “AXE” telling the log about to be split, 

“This is going to hurt you more than it will me!” 

I know that my mind cannot comprehend the 

“POWER” to “CREATE SOMETHING FROM NOTHING” 

(which GOD DID by “SPEAKING EVERYTHING INTO EXISTENCE” ) 

so when I read this statement by Jesus that 

“Heaven and earth will pass away” that I believe that 

JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD therefore it is easy for me to believe: 

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” 

(Genesis 1:1) 

It is not hard for me then to hear God saying,

 “I brought you into this world and I can take you out!”   

In other words, some day we will see it written about the closing 

out of the history of mankind as we know it: 

“At the end of the age God destroyed the old creation 

that He had made in the beginning then God decided to 

demolish the originals and create a new heaven and a new earth!” 

It was the POWER of GOD’S WORDS that brought everything

 into existence and when Jesus says 

“My words will by no means pass away” (Matthew 24:35) 

that He is giving us the “TRUE SOURCE OF POWER” 

that has the ability to 

“destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28) 

and compared to destroying the “Heaven and the earth”, 

destroying “soul and body” should be easy don’t you think? 

Or are you one of those that still believe there is no God,

 therefore there is no sin and no heaven or earth so you don’t have

 to worry about these “fairy tales and fables”?!?!?!?  

Personally I am convinced that the body of evidence 

and the great number of eye-witnesses is sufficient enough 

for me to make an “informed decision” ——— and I take solace

 in the fact that Jesus said earlier,

 “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, 

that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent 

and have revealed them to babes. 

Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. 

All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, 

and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone

 know the Father except the Son 

and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.” 

(Matthew 11:25-27) 

And now Jesus is revealing God the Father and God’s Plan

 to all “believers” for in the end times it has been revealed that indeed

 there will be a “Final Judgement” by the Father in which

 “Heaven and earth will pass away” but the GOOD NEWS 

is that “[the WORDS OF JESUS HIS SON] 

will by NO MEANS pass away.” 

And as all good fairy tales end ———

 “And they lived happily FOREVER after!!!” 

(Sounds like John 3:16 to me!)
