Focus

“What I say to you, I say to all, stay focused.” (Mark 13:37)

My Bible verse for today comes at the end of the chapter that today’s Gospel reading begins. We need the end of the chapter to understand what Jesus means at the beginning, “And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; this must happen, but the end is not yet...This is the beginning of the birth pangs…you will be brought before governors and kings because of me, as evidence to them.”
