Emphasis Preaching Journal

We can become caught up in the vivid imagery and forget what we should know. I once had a young man argue with me that all the things mentioned would soon happen because he said it says, "This generation will not pass away before all these things take place." I tried to show him that the "this" did not refer to now but to the "this" generation in which Jesus lived, but he would not believe me because he had been taught otherwise.
