We look at the world around us and can only come to one conclusion: things aren't what they are supposed to be. But even if we try to improve them, our efforts don't last. As Jesus concludes his Olivet discourse in Mark 13, we see astounding realities announced: we see the end of the world, the Son of Man coming in glory and power, and the ultimate restoration of all things. These are not just declarations; they are promises. It's through these final verses of Mark 13 that we see three promises of Jesus' return and what it means for our lives today.
