Luke 21:20-38; Be careful

This entire section has been debated and argued over for years. Exactly what and when Jesus was talking about seems to elude most if not all of us. Yet there are teachings to take away from it.

Jesus continued to be counter cultural in his teaching. While talking about disaster he said that while everything is going bad, "lift up your head, your redemption is near." He also said to "be careful or your years will be weighed down with . . . the anxieties of life."

So in simple terms, what you see is not what you get. There is more to life than what meets the eye and if we forget that, we will be weighed down. If my perspective becomes that of the people around me, I have lost my spiritual vision.
