1 Thessalonians 3:9-13

We cannot thank God enough for you. We are very happy about you as we talk to God.

10 Night and day we ask God that we may see you face to face. We want to help you know more about what you believe.

11 Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, open the way for us to come to you.

12 May the Lord make you stronger in your love for each other. Love others in the way we love you.

13 We want the Lord to help you to stand strong. And then, when the Lord Jesus comes with all God's people, you will be holy in the eyes of our God and Father. He will see no fault in you.

Luke 21:25-36

25 `There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And there will be much trouble for the people on earth. They will not know what to do. It will be like the sound of big waves of the sea.

26 Men will be weak with fear. They will be afraid of the things that will be happening to the world. The powers in the sky will be shaken.

27 Then people will see the sign of the Son of Man in a cloud. He will have much power and will be very great.

28 When these things begin to happen, look up. Lift up your heads. You will soon be free.'

29 Jesus told them a story. He said, `Look at a fig tree. Look at all the trees.

30 As soon as you see the leaves coming, you know that it will soon be the warm time of the year.

31 It is the same way when you see all these things happening. You will know that the kingdom of God is near.

32 I tell you the truth. People who are living then will not die before all these things happen.

33 The sky and the earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.'

34 `But take care. Do not think too much about eating, drinking, and things in this life. If you do, that day will come and catch you like a trap.

35 That day will come to all people who are living on the whole earth.

36 Watch all the time. Ask God to make you strong to do right so that you will not go through all these things that are going to happen. Ask him to make you able to stand in front of the Son of Man.'
