We don't know what tomorrow holds, but we know who holds tomorrow. Dr. John Neufeld examines Jesus' parable of the fig tree in Matthew 24, addressing the disciples' burning question: when will these things happen? Jesus makes it clear that no one knows the day or hour of His return - not even the Son in His human nature. The lesson isn't about calculating timelines, but about living in continual expectation, knowing we're in the era of Christ's return.

Some moments in history are so defining they serve as lessons for all time.

Dr. John Neufeld begins a series on Christ's return by examining the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24. When the disciples ask Jesus about the temple's destruction and the end of the age, He warns them of "birth pangs" - signs that will continue throughout history but don't signal the immediate end: false messiahs, wars, persecution, and apostasy. Rather than predicting timelines, Jesus calls believers to endure faithfully until the gospel reaches all nations.
