Week 10 | Day 3 TEACHINGS ON THE END OF DAYS Matthew 24:1-25:13 | Mark 13:1-37 | Luke 21:5-36

As Jesus left the temple, He foretold its destruction, shocking His disciples and prompting questions about the end of the age. Jesus responded by describing a season marked by deception, wars, persecution, suffering, and cosmic signs, warning His followers not to be alarmed or misled. He emphasized that these events are not random but part of God’s unfolding plan, calling His disciples to endurance, discernment, and faithfulness amid increasing pressure and uncertainty.

Jesus then shifted from signs to readiness, teaching that the exact timing of His return is unknown, but the posture of His people must be constant vigilance. Through parables—most notably the wise and foolish virgins—He stressed preparedness, watchfulness, and faithful obedience. The significance of this discourse is clear: followers of Jesus are not called to predict dates but to live alert, holy, and mission-focused lives, anchored in hope and confident in God’s ultimate victory.

APPLICATION

1. Stay Spiritually Alert

Jesus calls us to live awake and aware, not drifting into complacency but living expectantly of His imminent return.

2. Guard Against Deception

Not every spiritual claim or sign aligns with God’s truth, so discernment is essential. Know the Word and discern the times.

3. Endure Faithfully Under Pressure

Hardship is not a sign of God’s absence but an arena for perseverance. Things are going to get worse before they get better leading up to His return.

4. Live Ready, not Reactive

Prepared hearts respond with faith rather than fear when trials come. Trust that God will show up in your life.

5. Let Hope Shape Your Present Life

Confidence in Christ’s return should fuel holy living today. When He comes, will you be found faithful.
 
PRAYER

Lord Jesus, You alone know the end from the beginning. Guard my heart from fear and distraction, and help me live with wisdom, endurance, and hope. Teach me to stay awake spiritually, faithful in obedience, and confident in Your promises. May my life reflect readiness—not anxiety—as I trust You until the day You return. Amen.
