SAA Notes

In 70AD, the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and millions of Jews in a great war begun by the rebellion of the Jews. The Jewish Christians survived by leaving Jerusalem between the first and second Roman attack, heeding this and Jesus’ similar warning in Matthew 24.

SJA Notes

* Dear God, please show us Your word today.

“Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but the wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise shall understand.”

The gospel of the good news of Jesus is for all people!

And yet, the wicked shall act wickedly.

We are to trumpet the salvation of God to the world around us.

And yet, the wicked shall act wickedly.

We are to be fearless in the Lord, grounded in His promises.

And yet, the wicked shall not understand.

Salvation for the sinner is why Jesus first came to earth.

When He comes again a second and last time it will be death to the wicked and life to the saved.

We need Jesus!

* Oh Great God Above,

Please help us Lord God, for we cannot help ourselves.

Please save our loved ones Lord God, please call them and may they answer.

Please arrest sin in our own lives, wash us clean today from the muck and dirt that comes from walking in this world.

Please refine us Lord God, help us to pursue Your holiness.

Amen.
