This guy needs a tree-chers' union.

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. In this Bible story, Jesus tells His disciples that there will be signs before the Son of Man (i.e. the Messiah, Jesus) returns at the end of days. The sun and moon will darken, and the stars will fall from the sky. He compares these signs to a tree sprouting leaves, pointing to a fig tree as an example. Just like the fig tree's new leaves are a sign that summer is on its way, these heavenly disasters will be a sign that the Son of Man is on His way. 2. In this cartoon, Jesus starts talking about the Son of Man like in the original Bible story. He gets to the part where he points out the fig tree and says, "Take a lesson from this fig tree." However, instead of the tree remaining respectfully silent like in the original story, the tree in this cartoon turns and interrupts him. It thinks that by "learn a lesson from this fig tree," Jesus meant for the tree to start teaching instead of Him. The tree is incorrect, as most trees are -- a flaw of their kind, and one of the many reasons God stripped them of their voices pre-Genesis (I assume).

MARK S.O.A.P. ~ CHAPTER 13

Tuesday, 11/25/25

SCRIPTURE:

As Jesus left the temple, one of His disciples said to him, “Teacher, look!  "What awesome stones and buildings!” ~ Mark 13:1

OBSERVATION:

Even in Jesus's physical presence, this disciple was distracted by the things around him...

...like the "country boy gone to the big city..." (which is probably the case...)

The more things change, the more they don't...

...in that this is a lot like me...

...I have His presence...

...but - look, a squirrel!

APPLICATION:

Focus on Him...

...so that others may see Him...

PRAYER:

Lord Father God - Please forgive my distractedness... for allowing things to take my focus from You and Your grace and mercy and will for my life... Thank for an inquiring, inquisitive mind and may I use it to see You and Your blessings and Your handiwork in and around me and those with whom I come into contact - for Your glory, in Jesus's Name...

For Him... for you... for yours...

Hardware AKA MARK 13 (1990)

[quotesfromscripture]

You must be on your guard. You will be handed over to the local councils and flogged in the synagogues. On account of me you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them. And the gospel must first be preached to all nations.

Mark 13:9-10 NIV (2011)

Signs of the End by Alistair Begg | Most of the time, when the topic is "the end of the world," you hear a lot of speculation about dates and events and meanings. Mark 13 shows us a striking difference in the way Jesus approached this subject. Instead of speculating about dates, the Lord provided His followers with practical instruction - actions and attitudes that will equip us to face the future He has planned.
