Matt. 24 [NIV Dramatized Audio]

In this chapter, Christ lays out the events leading to the end of the age. It’s frightening to consider this timetable and try to determine where we are presently. He makes it clear that the key is “Enduring to the end.”

What qualities enhance enduring?

• Faithfulness … to daily read His Word and be in fellowship with other Christians.
• Humility … because Jesus said the first will be last and the last (servant’s heart) will be first.
• Perseverance … it’s not a sprint. It’s an endurance run.
• Being mercy-givers … those who show mercy will receive it.
• Knowledge of the times… we ought to read this passage more often.
• Generosity … laying up for ourselves treasures in Heaven.
