“For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect” (v24). Jesus knew that his followers would face many competing voices – false ‘messiahs’ - promising to fix the world, fulfill their desires, and bring peace to chaos. He reassured them that his glorious return would be unmistakable (v29-31). Until then, they were called to resist deception and “stay awake” (v42), focused on doing his will and trusting his timeline (v44-48).

Jesus said that his followers, loyal to his ways, would be foreigners and exiles in “all nations” (v9). Yet, he calls us to share his good news with “all nations”, calling people out of darkness and into his kingdom of light.
