It’s the end of the world and I feel fine (33 Sunday OT, C)

33 Sunday OT, Year C

Luke 21:5-19

It is strange to hear Jesus speak about the end of the world in the Gospel today (Luke 21:5-19). Although foreign to us, this "apocalyptic" way of speaking is meant to challenge as well as console us. The world as we know it is ending, but Jesus is bringing a better one into existence.
