How is Mark 13 a message to humanity?

From Rev Gav

Life can be excruciatingly difficult for many people — utterly horrendous. I guess, sometimes the only option is to do our best even when it’s impossible. When my niece took her own life, one could ask what was the point in her existence (despite the incredible joy she brought so many during her short life). She was housebound and in constant horrific pain, but… her faith in Jesus bore witness to the existence of God and presence of Christ in a way I never could. At her funeral someone told me they had never felt the presence of God so powerfully, and it forever changed their life. For those who are blessed to be able to exercise our gifts, skills, and talents, I guess the hope is that, being filled with the Spirit, we see the world with God’s eyes and join in with what God is doing in creation?
