Episode Details

Christians often turn to passages like this and wonder, "When will Jesus return?" Jesus seems to be intentionally ambiguous but what he is very clear about is how we should live until that day comes. Jesus warns his disciples to guard their hearts against distraction, indulgence, and anxiety, urging them to stay alert and prayerful so they will be ready for whatever is to come, whenever it may come.
