Violence

Matthew 24:6

In Matthew we are reminded that in the last days, we will hear of wars and rumors of wars. This paints a picture of a world that often feels scary and dangerous. The current wars, threats of new wars, and the violence and hostility towards those with different beliefs, all contribute to this unsettling reality. Yet as believers, we understand that these events must occur to usher in the return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And despite the chaos around us, we find solace in the knowledge that God is always in control. Nothing happens outside of His sovereign plan, and nothing takes Him by surprise. This assurance allows us to face the turmoil with a sense of peace, knowing that God’s purposes are being fulfilled. Our faith anchors us, reminding us that even in the darkest times, God’s light shines through. We are called to trust in His timing and to remain steadfast in our hope. As we navigate these turbulent days, let us hold onto the promise of Christ’s return. And find comfort in the certainty of His ultimate victory!
