Luke 21 and 22 - Jason

Luke 21 is about the prophecies of Jesus concerning the end times and the destruction of Jerusalem, which was fulfilled in AD 70 with the destruction of the temple by the Romans. Verse 36 is a good one to remember: stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man."

Luke 22 is an intense chapter about the betrayal and arrest and questioning of Jesus. Before he was betrayed he enjoyed the last Passover meal with his disciples, and he distributed wine and bread to them saying, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me." Jesus made a new covenant with his people through his death and resurrection, and the new covenant is better than the old because we can all have a close relationship with God through Jesus Christ the Son. And he poured out the Holy Spirit on all flesh.
