Matthew 23-24
Matthew 24 is one of the hardest chapters I have ever studied. I have come across a few different ways to understand it, but none is totally convincing. Here is the good news…the application remains the same for us. This passage is telling us to live ready for Jesus to return.
One Comment
Jesus condemns the Scribes and Pharisees for their hypocrisy, and we say “I sure am glad I’m not like that.” But I’m not so sure. There are elements in what he says that may apply to our lives if we aren’t careful. Are we quick to impose judgement on someone else without looking at our lives? Is the image we try to project in public differ from how we truly live? We can’t dismiss Jesus’ charges until we truthfully examine our own lives.
