In the opening message of this series, Jesus’ teaching on the last days begins not with speculation, but with a sobering lament over Jerusalem’s unwillingness to repent. From Matthew 23:37–24:2, we see the tender mercy of Christ, the certainty of judgment for persistent unbelief, and His declaration that the Temple’s destruction is coming. This passage calls us to look past religious appearances, heed Christ’s warning, and come to Him in repentance before it is too late.
