Insights on Today's Reading
Matthew 24 - This is Matthew's account of the Olivet Discourse. Jesus made clear the signs His disciples should be aware of that signal His coming. Much of what you can read in verses 4-14 are things which we think are happening right now, but I believe that many of the signs Jesus spoke of will be of greater intensity and magnitude that we can imagine. The fact that "...lawlessness will abound and the love of many will grow cold" verse 12, have not yet reached the state Jesus spoke. It's bad in our day for sure, but crime and destruction ("...earthquakes in various places" etc.) will increase far more than they are now. This should lead all of us to intensify our efforts to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with as many people as we can while the opportunities are still afforded us! Read this chapter with a heart's cry for the lost.
