Luke 2:1-7 - New International Version (NIV)
1 In those
days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the
entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took
place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And
everyone went to their own town to register.
4 So
Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to
Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of
David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was
pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While
they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and
she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed
him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

9 How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy
we have in the presence of our God because of you? 10 Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you
again and supply what is lacking in your faith.
11 Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus clear
the way for us to come to you. 12 May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each
other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. 13 May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be
blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our
Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones.

Luke 21:25-36 – New International Version
(NIV)
25 “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On
the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing
of the sea. 26 People will faint from
terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies
will be shaken. 27 At that time they will see
the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 When these things begin to
take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing
near.”
29 He told them this parable: “Look at the fig tree and all
the trees. 30 When they sprout leaves, you
can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. 31 Even so, when you see these
things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.
32 “Truly I tell you, this generation will
certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 33 Heaven and earth will pass
away, but my words will never pass away.
34 “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down
with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will
close on you suddenly like a trap. 35 For it will come on all those
who live on the face of the whole earth. 36 Be always on the watch, and
pray that you may be able to escape all that is
about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”

and lift up” their heads “when these things begin to take place” (verse
28)?

the trees” sprout leaves (verses 29 and 30)?
What is near “when you see these things happening” (verse
31)?
Who “will certainly not pass away until all these things
have happened” (verse 32)?
What “will never pass away” (verse 33)?
What can be weighed down with “carousing, drunkenness
and the anxieties of life” (verse 34)?
Who will “that day” close on “suddenly like a
trap” (verses 34 and 35)?
Why should the Thessalonians “be always on the watch,
and pray” (verse 36)?
