Last week we began our exploration of Jesus' teaching from Matthew 24 and 25. It is a complex passage, Jesus answers 2 questions from the disciples concerning the future. This lengthy passage about the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple, and the End of the Age, has puzzled people for generations. The confusion stems from the fact that Jesus is answering 2 very different questions. He has some specific instruction for the early church that was in Jerusalem concerning events that would soon occur. Jesus also has some instruction for His church throughout the ages on how to live expectant of His return.

It is a challenging passage. This week in our encounter with Jesus we will seek to bring some clarity to this very important passage by following Jesus' words closely. So as we learned last week, we will put on our Monovision glasses to see what was near, what was far, and what was blended together in Jesus teaching from Matthew 24 and 25.
