Mark 13:5

"“Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are all about to be fulfilled?”"

Key Reflection

This question reflects the disciples' desire for immediate and clear signs of the end times, showcasing their impatience despite Jesus’ emphasis on divine timing. It highlights a common human tendency to seek definitive answers in spiritual matters, often overlooking the broader message of preparedness and watchfulness that Jesus seeks to convey.
