John Burnett: 34 “Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with
dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come
on you suddenly like a trap; 35 for it will come
upon all those who dwell on the face of all the earth. 36 But keep
on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all
these things that are about to take place and to stand before the Son of
Man.” We are
to be watching for His return and making sure, we have the right attitude and
not worry. Verse 36 is not easy for me to interpret because I thought we
would all stand before the Son of Man to be judged. It is my hope that
the escape mentioned in this verse is the rapture and all the things that are
about to take place is the tribulation period that raptured saints will miss
while we are standing in His presence.
37 Now [a]during
the day He was teaching in the temple, but [b]at
evening He would go out and spend the night on [c]the mount
that is called [d]Olivet. 38 And
all the people would get up early in the morning to come to
Him in the temple to listen to Him. Something cool to think about is that we will not have
to get up early in the morning to come to Him and listen to Him. We will
be forever in His presence.

Monday’s reading for Luke 22:1-6
22 The Festival of Unleavened Bread,
which is also called Passover, was approaching. 2 The leading
priests and teachers of religious law were plotting how to kill Jesus, but they
were afraid of the people’s reaction.
3 Then Satan entered into Judas
Iscariot, who was one of the twelve disciples, 4 and he went to
the leading priests and captains of the Temple guard to discuss the best way to
betray Jesus to them. 5 They were delighted, and they promised
to give him money. 6 So he agreed and began looking for an
opportunity to betray Jesus so they could arrest him when the crowds weren’t
around.
