Lots of weird and strange images often come to mind when we think about the "end times". We started our night on Sunday talking and displaying those words and images for our chalkboard reflection of the evening. We thought of things like fire, destruction, earthquakes, terrorist attacks, explosions, animals taking over the world...basically pure chaos! The topic of the "end times" is so fascinating to a lot of people for many reasons...one of which is the fact that it is really a mystery. We know Scripture discusses it, but ultimately when it will happen and how are a mystery. We took a look at Scripture like John 14:1-6, Matthew 24:36-42 and 2 Peter 3:1-12. We see that though the details of the end times may be a mystery, God tells us not to be afraid, to trust in God and that God doesn't want anyone to be destroyed, but for all to repent.
Then I read Revelation 21-22:6. As I read, everyone wrote down words, phrases or drew images of things that stuck out to them. Afterward we created a collage of what the "New Heave and New Earth" might be like according to this Scripture passage.
Despite all the things we don't know, there are three main things we do know:
1. The Bible tells us that Jesus will return someday.
2. The world as we know it will come to an end.
3. The end is really a brand new beginning!
Those who were not here last week learned about the 5/30 challenge, and for those who were here last week we checked in with each other on how it was going. How's it going for you? Comment on this post with your responses.
We also did some chariot racing!
