Matthew - Day 30: Jesus Talks About End Times Pt. 1

End times can illicit many emotions and stir up many questions. Focusing on end times should be an exercise that provides followers of Christ with motivation to fully embrace Jesus, His message and His mission! End times should be, first and foremost, good news for those that follow Christ. We can have hope that Jesus will rescue us and trust in His justice and judgment.

Read Matthew 24:1-25

Q: During the end times, God’s judgment is severe and His justice is upheld. How does hearing about this unprecedented judgment fill out the picture of God? Do you struggle at all with God’s judgment during this period of time? Why or why not?

Q: What impression do you get of mankind in the events leading up to the end? How do you envision life on earth to be during this time?

Q: Have you ever thought of God’s mercy being present during this period of time? What provides evidence of His mercy being present through this time?

Q: What does it say about God that during His most unprecedented judgment, people have a choice to follow him and that He provides witnesses of the gospel and hears the prayers of His people?

Q: How does understanding the reality of end times and God’s ultimate victory affect the way in which we live today?
