We’re in the midst of waiting for Jesus to return, and he will. But how are we supposed to wait? On the one hand he says he could return at any moment, and on the other he tells us it could be a long time. Jesus gives a series of vignettes and parables in Matthew 24-25 that are intended to answer these questions. We look at three of them this week.We should wait ready for Jesus’ return so that we’re not surprised when he comes—knowing that we’ll give an account to him, even if his coming is long delayed.
