Read Luke 21:25-37

JESUS TELLS ABOUT HIS RETURN
The picture of the coming persecutions and natural disasters is gloomy, but ultimately it is not a cause for worry, but for great joy. As believer’s see these events happening, they will know that the return of the Messiah is near, and they can look forward to His reign of justice and peace. Rather than being terrified by what is happening in the world, you should confidently await Christ’s return to bring justice and restoration to His people.
Jesus did not leave His disciples unprepared for the difficult years ahead. He warned them about false messiahs, natural disasters, and persecutions; but He assured them that He would be with them to protect them and make His kingdom known through them. In the end, Jesus promised that He would return in power and glory to save them. Jesus’ warnings and promises to His disciples also apply to you as you look forward to His return.
Jesus told His disciples to keep a constant watch for His return. Although 2,000 years have passed since He spoke these words, their truth remains: Christ is coming again and you need to be spiritually ready. This means working faithfully at the tasks God has given you. Don’t let your mind and spirit be dulled by careless living, drinking, or the foolish pursuit of pleasure. Don’t let the cares of this life weigh you down. Be ready to move at God’s command.
