Apocalypse 20:1-4,11-21:2; Ps 84:3-6a, 8a; Luke 21:29-33

Hope abounds

This parable of the fig tree follows on from the sombre verses in Luke 21 which have told us that all that is known will cease to be and the Son of Man will come. This parable today continues to point us to hope. After the dead of winter we notice budding on trees and with it comes the promise of spring and summer. So too Jesus promises that his words will never pass away. What words of Jesus give you hope today?
