When Will Jesus Return?

When Will Jesus Return?

Scripture Reading: Matthew 24:5-8, 32-44

Focus Verses: Matthew 24:36  "No one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.”

The short answer is nobody knows when Jesus will return.  Only God knows.   Jesus has given us some important clues in verses 5-8.  “Many will come in my name, claiming, I am the Christ, and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.”  We are seeing all of these things happening today that are mentioned in these verses.  

Jesus could come back today or it could be a thousand years from now.  We need to live expecting that He could return at any time.  The Bible says that Jesus' return will be like it was in Noah’s day.  Noah warned them that rain was coming. But people went about their lives as normal.  They didn’t realize what was about to happen.  The flood came and swept them all away.  

I see people today not giving any thought about God.  Just as Noah warned the people of his day.  We need to warn the people of our day.  We are responsible for this generation.  Romans 10:14 says, "But how can they call on Him to save them unless they believe in Him? And how can they believe in Him if they have never heard about Him? And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them?”   We don’t know when Jesus will return, but He will return.  So we need to share the good news of the Gospel with them before it’s too late.
