Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses the interpretation of Matthew 16:9-13 and 16:27-28, where Jesus spoke about seeing the Son of Man coming in his kingdom. Gregg challenges the notion that Jesus was predicting his second coming within the lifetime of his original listeners, and suggests that the language used in these verses may refer to Christ's ascension or the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. He acknowledges that there are differing interpretations of these verses, but encourages listeners to grapple with the context and language used to arrive at their own conclusions.
