When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, don’t be alarmed! These things must happen, but they don’t mean that the end has come.

Mark 13:7 (gW)

It’s easy to freak out when watching the news. Everything seems to go from bad to worse.

But Jesus warned us about this, not so that we’d be afraid or upset, but to comfort us and remind us that when these things happed, we can, “straighten up and raise [our] heads, because [our] redemption is drawing near!” [Luke 21:28] And that is great news!
