Matthew 24:32-51

After telling his disciples all the signs to look for concerning the destruction of the temple, Jesus gives a quick parable about the sprouting of a fig tree. In the same way they know summer is coming by watching the fig tree, the disciples will know the events are near when they see these signs. But, the exact day & time will remain hidden from them, only God knows. As such, they need to remain faithful to the work God has given.

As disciples, our job is to do the work God has given us to do, which is keeping his commands. His commands are summed up as: 1) loving God, and 2) loving people. We are also to make disciples, which falls under both categories. If we keep that front of mind, God will be pleased and we will be blessed when he comes.
