The return of Jesus is not meant to fill God’s people with fear, but with hope. In this message from Matthew 24, Dr. J. Vernon McGee helps us understand that we are to watch for the Lord—not by guessing dates or following sensational voices, but by living each day in readiness and faith. As he unfolds Jesus’ words, we’re reminded that the promise of Christ’s coming is meant to awaken our hearts and keep us looking to Him.
