Episode notes
Disciples Were Perplexed Too
- The disciples were confused about the timing and nature of Jesus' return, showing early believers also grappled with 'when'.
- Alistair Begg emphasizes that ignorance of timing doesn't undermine the certainty of Christ's promise.
Love Means Steadfast Anticipation
- Loving Christ's return means awaiting it wholeheartedly whether imminent or distant, not predicting its date.
- Augustine's definition reframes anticipation as sustained devotion rather than timetable precision.
Live Purely And Share The Gospel
- Purify your life morally as evidence of hope in Christ's return by growing in holiness.
- Be zealous in evangelism and tell others that Jesus has come and is coming again.
We’re living between two advents. When Jesus comes back to earth, it won’t be as a baby like the first time—and it won’t be to seek and save the lost. So how will Christ return, and what will His purpose be? Find out on Truth For Life with Alistair Begg.
