In Jesus’ day, the people were impressed with the big buildings in Jerusalem. They were like skyscrapers to the country bumpkins from Galilee. They ooooo-ed and aaaaah-ed.
Then Jesus bummed them out: Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down — Mark 13:12 NIV. Directly, the prophecy was fulfilled when Roman General Titus decimated the temple in 80 A.D. But indirectly, the prophecy speaks to us about NOT oooohing and aaaaahing this world too much, but it’s all gonna end dust.
What lasts forever is your soul. Do you work on your soul as much as your retirement plan?

Such a good message. I think in western society, we focus on “you only live once”, not realizing that our souls go on (and are, I believe, part of the eternal soul). Beautiful message! You rock, too. 🙂
Thank you for such kind words!

A good day to be out of town in Jerusalem!
