Symbol: Pothole!
Lesson: Christ was speaking of significant events.
Illustration:
If you look at any road close enough, you will find flaws, pits, and yes, even
small pot holes that any car tire can go over without our notice. But now, what
if you are driving along and suddenly a passenger shouts out “pothole!”
What are you expecting? Something inconsequential? No, there is a reason for
the warning-- it is because the pothole is big enough to cause concern. (And
all of a sudden the car goes bump bump). The same goes for the foretold
earthquakes, in magnitude; in frequency; in devastation.
Notes: Disbelievers
rightly claim that there have always been earthquakes, famines and other
problems on the earth. But the sign that Jesus
gave was something of more
significance than small earthquakes.
