## Resource

In Matthew 24:9–14, Jesus gives a sober but hopeful picture of the age before his return: his followers will face opposition, deception, betrayal, lawlessness, and the danger of love growing cold, yet the gospel of the kingdom will still be preached to all nations before the end comes. This message explores how God’s apparent delay is not forgetfulness or failure, but patience and mercy for the sake of repentance and mission. The church is therefore called not to speculate about dates, grow cynical, or become cold under pressure, but to stay faithful, proclaim Christ, and burn brighter with holy, courageous love until the Great Commission is fulfilled and the King returns. Matthew 24:9-14
