Commands of Christ: 80 

When you see signs of my return, do not be terrified, but take heart. 

There is a saying, “It is darkest just before the dawn.” Jesus was saying something like that in these passages. There will be tragedies and hard times before Jesus’ triumphant return. We are not to grieve or fear these hardships as those who have no hope. We are to look beyond them to our promised reward and fellowship with our loving Lord for all eternity. Our hope gives us strength. We are not to respond out of fear but out of faith and so remain faithful to the end.
