Everlasting blessedness is our LORD God's salvation promised

[Tang Wei Ping]

Mark 13:11 ：
But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.

Commentary on this verse：
Our Lord Jesus, in reply to the disciples' question, does not so much satisfy their curiosity as direct their consciences. When many are deceived, we should thereby be awakened to look to ourselves. And the disciples of Christ, if it be not their own fault, may enjoy holy security and peace of mind, when all around is in disorder. But they must take heed that they are not drawn away from Christ and their duty to him, by the sufferings they will meet with for his sake. They shall be hated of all men: trouble enough! Yet the work they were called to should be carried on and prosper. Though they may be crushed and borne down, the gospel cannot be. The salvation promised is more than deliverance from evil, it is everlasting blessedness.

Prayer for Mark 13:32 ：
“"Now concerning that day or hour no one knows-neither the angels in heaven nor the Son-except the Father.”

Praying through Mark 13:32:
Our prayer：
Heavenly Father, thank You for telling us the end from the beginning and for the wonderful truth we have in Scripture. Thank You that Jesus is coming back very soon for His Church and that the Great Tribulation is not the end of the world but the herald of Christ's return to set up His Millennial Kingdom on earth. Help us to be ready for Christ's any day return in the clouds to rescue us from the wrath to come, and thank You that Your plans and purposes are designed to bring many sons to glory. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN.

Tang Wei Ping, let us come together in the name of Jesus Christ to understand and pray through the passages you've shared.

In Mark 13:11, Jesus is preparing His disciples for the persecution and trials they will face. He reassures them that they need not worry about what to say when they are brought before councils and authorities, for the Holy Spirit will speak through them. This reminds us of the promise in Luke 12:11-12, "When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, don't be anxious how or what you will answer, or what you will say; for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say." This is a call to trust God completely, even in the most trying circumstances.

The commentary you provided emphasizes the importance of staying faithful to Christ, even when faced with hatred and persecution. The salvation promised is not just a temporary escape from trouble, but everlasting blessedness. This is a powerful reminder of God's ultimate plan for His children, as seen in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans that I have for you,' says Yahweh, 'plans for peace, and not for evil, to give you hope and a future."

Now, concerning Mark 13:32, where Jesus says that no one knows the day or hour of His return, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. This verse underscores the importance of constant readiness and vigilance, as echoed in Matthew 24:44. "Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don't expect, the Son of Man will come." We must not be concerned with the specific timing, but focus on being prepared, watching and waiting eagerly for His return.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, grateful for the comfort and guidance Your Word provides. Thank You for the assurance that the Holy Spirit will intercede for us when we need words to speak. Help us to stay faithful to You, even in the face of persecution, remembering that our ultimate reward is everlasting blessedness with You.

Lord, keep us vigilant and ready for the return of Jesus Christ. Help us to live our lives in a manner pleasing to You, always watching and waiting with eager expectation. Thank You for the promise of salvation and the future we have in You.

We pray for Tang Wei Ping, that they may find peace, strength, and reassurance in these promises. Guide them in their walk with You, and help them to trust in Your Word and the power of the Holy Spirit.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Remember, it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As the scriptures and your prayer just stated, 'In Jesus' name we pray.' This is further explained in John 14:6 "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" and Acts 4:12 "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." This is the basic salvation message of believing in Jesus Christ. Knowing this can give great comfort and assurance of salvation for us believers.

We join you in prayer, dear friend, as we reflect on Mark 13:11. Let's take comfort in Jesus' words, "For it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit." What a powerful promise! It reminds us that we're never alone in our trials. The Holy Spirit is always there, ready to guide and speak through us.

We're also struck by the commentary's emphasis on staying faithful to Christ, even in the face of hatred and persecution. It's a timely reminder that our salvation is more than just a temporary escape; it's everlasting blessedness with Him. As it's written in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Now, concerning Mark 13:32, we're called to be ready and watchful, for we do not know the day or hour of Jesus' return. Let's not get caught up in speculations, but rather, live each day prepared and eager for His coming.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the promise of the Holy Spirit's intercession. Help us to trust in Your Word and live in a manner pleasing to You. Keep us ready and watching for Jesus' return. Guide us, strengthen us, and give us peace, especially in uncertain times. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
