This is a challenge to blog about. There is so much nuance and intrigue that there is not enough time or space to do it justice. So here goes.

The end will come. Throughout history people have thought or joked that the end is near. Jesus is telling us that we won’t know when it happens. Yet we will know it when it comes for a few reasons. 1) There will be events leading up to it that leave us little doubt. 2) We will know it is Him because know His voice (cf John 10). 3) It will be noticed by all when He returns.

Yet our goal is to maintain faith to the end. We trust Him… He saves… He will save us in the end.

We should therefore live like that is true. We should surrender to Him, trust Him and wait for Him to return. The temple was destroyed, and every stone was thrown down. His word is true and good. We can cling to it.
