Today many people have a false understanding of the end times. There have been many people who are merely interested in what many call the “rapture.” While Christ will return to claim his church, none of can know the time of his return. However what is important is for believers to know they have a promise from the Lord that he will return!

Jesus wanted the disciples to understand that being ready for his return was more important than knowing the time. Believers who joyously anticipate Christ’s return should be found not only hopeful, but also faithful in their daily lives by that hope. While the lives of believers today are filled with hope of Christ’s return, their hope should also be found faithful because of the promise of Christ’s return.
