March 19 - Lent

Genesis 47:1-31 - Here we see most clearly how God establishes the sons of Israel (Jacob) in Egypt. This will set the stage for all that takes place in Exodus. The Israelites who had come as guests, in time became slaves. God had saved his people through Joseph in mysterious ways, but soon with Moses He would do even greater works to bring His people to freedom and establish them in the land promised.

Mark 13:24-37 - This short section is full of cryptic words from Jesus. What do think Jesus' reason is for speaking this way? If there is a danger in not being awake or alert, is there a danger in obsessing over supposed signs? How do other parts of Scripture help us to understand this?
