Scripture/Text: Matthew 24:29-35; The big idea for this weeks message is that we should trust Jesus' words by following Jesus' path. The path that Jesus takes in order to be crowned with glory and honor is through suffering and death. It is the same path that Daniel took when he worshipped God and was thrown into a den of lions. It is the same path that we must be willing to take if we are going to be true followers of Jesus. Jesus is the Son of Man, who is vindicated in glory. He is Israel's true representative and he is our only hope.
