Luke 12:56... “Hypocrites, you can discern the face of the heavens(sky) and of the earth(land); yet how is it you are not discerning this time(era/season)?”
Jesus speaks of how critical it is to realize the time we live in. At that time, it was not to bring peace on earth, but division. For some shall believe that he is the son of God(ALHY); and some will not. We must bear our cross continually, and believe continually! “This time” will bring about the death and resurrection of Jesus; and the destruction of the temple of Jerusalem. How easy it is to tell the weather, but still that we may be blind to what is going on around us. What is and what will be going on around us now is still the same as it was them. We must understand that there is still spiritual work to be done. We must go about the business of our Father, just as his son Jesus had done, and is doing. Let us not hold onto something that will not last, but may we seek and hold on tightly to that which lasts for eternity. Father, help us to see and understand the urgency of “this time.” Please guide and direct us in our spiritual work glorifying you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen and Shalom.
