Rev. Michael Pottschmidt, pastor of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church and School in Concordia, MO joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Matthew 23:37-24:14.
In love, Jesus laments the lost sheep of Jerusalem and teaches the truth of His second coming. We are to be careful to not take Jesus’ words as a literal checklist we can interpret from the newspaper. He makes sure that we understand the reality of this broken world (wars, rumors of wars, persecution, false Christ’s, famines, and earthquakes) and shows us where our hope lies: His kingdom. Stay steadfast, endure until the end, and lay hold on His salvation.
“Fight the good fight with all your might; Christ is your strength, and Christ your right. Lay hold on life, and it shall be, Your joy and crown eternally. Amen” Lutheran Service Book 664
