THE MOUNT OF OLIVES: A PROPHECY EXPERIENCE

Matthew 24:3

“As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. ‘Tell us,’ they said, ‘when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?’”

Discover It

The Mount of Olives was a significant place for Jesus and His disciples—a quiet area across from Jerusalem, where Jesus shared insights on the future. Jesus’ prophecy includes both warnings and promises, revealing what will happen before His return. While the future can seem uncertain, Jesus’ words bring assurance and guidance. Christians meeting together at church, in small groups, or even in a family devotion can explore what Jesus taught about watching for signs of His return and living with faith, not fear.

Ask It

1. Why do you think Jesus chose a private moment on the Mount of Olives to discuss these things with His disciples?

2. What does it mean to “watch” and be ready for Jesus’ return?

3. How can we live in a way that reflects our hope in Jesus, even when things seem uncertain?

Live It

1. Stay Alert: Like the disciples, we are called to be watchful and aware of the signs Jesus mentioned.

2. Have Faith: Trust in Jesus' plan and promises, even in the face of difficulties.

3. Live Purposefully: Let the knowledge of Jesus’ return inspire us to love others and follow God’s Word daily.

Pray It

“Lord, thank You for Your promises and Your guidance. Help us to live with faith, hope, and love as we look forward to Your return. May we stay alert and committed to following You every day. Amen.”
