My Take Aways
Something Old:
Do I watch for Him? Am I on guard and alert-living like He will be here any minute?

"Then everyone will see the Son of Man coming on a cloud with power and great glory. So when these things begin to happen, stand and look up, for your salvation is near!
Luke 21: 27-28
My Take Aways
Something Old:
My ransom has been paid. His angels will gather me up with all the believers on all corners of the earth. Our class will finally get to see one another. Wow!
Something New:
Don't let anyone mislead me. (Mark 13:5)
Salvation means redemption-a releasing of payment of ransom, liberation procured by the payment of a ransom. When He comes there will be a major releasing! Hallelujah!
Something to Do:
Stand and look up! My salvation is near.

"Jesus replied, 'The most important commandment is this, Listen , O Israel! The LORD our God is the one and only LORD. And you must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength."

My Take Aways
Something Old:
I can't love my neighbor unless I love myself. It is OK to love myself. Loving myself is not prideful.
Something New:
Matthew 22:40
"The entire law and all the demand of the prophets are based on these two commandments."
Everything is based on these two commandments-everything.
All-whole, complete, every whit
all my heart, all of my soul, all of my mind, all of my strength
Something to Do:
Do something to show love to my neighbor.
