Jesus said that he would come back. What did Jesus teach about this coming and what we call the “end of time”? There have been so many predictions and timeline-building, but what did Jesus actually teach?
In my life I have gotten caught up in end time frenzy of books and conversation,. only to become confused, full of questions. There are many passages in scripture that speak about an end time. Quite honestly, they are confusing and I am convinced not as easy to understand as some have come to believe.
As a follower of Jesus, I understand that our faith is about salvation of past sins and eternal life. However, it is not just about an end destination. Even in the midst of talking about end times, Jesus was very concerned how we were living now. There is a danger in Christianity of just living for heaven, or as I got my ticket, and missing out on much that Jesus taught about life.
This series of posts is going to provide short reflections on the Second Coming of Jesus, and the end times. To help narrow the conversation for better refection, the posts will be based on Jesus’ conversation in Matthew 24. The Second Coming conversation is one that has frustrated me, and exited me at moments.
What questions do you have around this passage or topic?
