In this episode, we walk through Matthew 24:14–25:30, where Jesus speaks plainly about the end of the age, the certainty of His return, and the kind of people we’re called to be while we wait. These verses aren’t meant to fuel fear or speculation — they’re a wake-up call to live alert, faithful, and active in the present. From the warnings about deception to the parables of readiness and stewardship, Jesus shifts the focus from predicting timelines to cultivating obedience. The question isn’t when He will come back — it’s whether we’ll be found watchful, prepared, and working when He does.

Jesus never promised an easy future. In Matthew 24:1–13, He warns that many will be deceived, offended, and fall away. This episode challenges shallow faith and calls us to a deeper, enduring trust in Christ—one that survives pressure, confusion, and suffering.

In this passage, Jesus stops answering questions—and starts asking one that exposes everything. What begins as a debate about authority turns into a full confrontation with religious hypocrisy. Jesus names the danger of knowing Scripture without knowing God, of performing faith instead of living it, and of leading others away from the kingdom while claiming to represent it.

But this isn’t just a rant. Beneath the woes is a lament. Beneath the judgment is grief. Jesus speaks hard truth not to dominate, but to warn—and He weeps over the very people who reject Him.
