SCRIPTURE: Luke 24:50-52 & Acts 1:1-14
Jesus hangs out for about 40 days after His resurrection, giving many proofs that He has indeed physically risen from the dead, as well as being seen by over 500 people before He gathers all of His disciples at the Mount of Olives to witness His ascension into heaven. This is a major transition in the life of humanity, specifically in the lives of the disciples. What do we do with times of transition? How did the disciples deal with the shift from walking with Jesus every day for 3 years, to watching His death, witnessing His resurrection, spending about 40 days with Him, then to watch as Jesus physically leaves and no longer physically walks with them into the new kingdom age? How, then, can we view major transitions in our own lives and the state of the ever changing world around us?

THEME: Pursue Peace in the Wait, Bless the LORD in the Pain.
SCRIPTURE: Luke 21:5-38
Jesus' "Olivet Discourse" is a LARGE piece of literature that has been discussed and debated for millennium and often attributed to the end of the world, the apocalypse. However, this passage is not eschatological in nature, per the context given in the passage. This passage is a powerful prophecy concerning the end of the nation of Israel, the destruction of Jerusalem, the Temple, and the entire culture, economy, and politics of the national identity of Israel in AD 70. However Jesus' meaning in the passage is to warn the disciples of the things to look out for and GET OUT OF TOWN/FLEE/RUUUUN!!!...don't stick around out of a nationalistic duty to Israel, but to flee and be saved from the coming judgement upon Israel for their hard-heartedness and unrepentance; and His encouragement for His disciples is that in the mean time before that all happens, they ought to pursue peace in the wait, and bless the LORD in the midst of the pain.
