Matthew 24:45 - 24:51

Gospel of Matthew
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg

In this message, Steve Gregg discusses the last few verses of Matthew 24, where Jesus speaks about his Second Coming. Jesus uses the illustration of a thief in the night to emphasize the importance of being ready and faithful. He warns that no one knows when the Second Coming will occur, so it is important to always be prepared by living a life of faith and obedience to God. Gregg encourages listeners to focus on their daily relationship with God rather than obsessing over signs of the end times. He also highlights the importance of being faithful in our responsibilities and privileges, as we will be held accountable upon Jesus' return.
