I can't wait?!?!?!?!?!

Matthew 24:9-14 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. The disciples had asked Jesus about the fall of the temple, and then end of the world. It was a mixed bad of news. They were not too anxious for the destruction of the temple, but like us, they longed for Christ to come again and set all things right. And then there are the things that come along the way: tribulation, persecution, faithlessness and relational stress. Yet, in the end, the Gospel is victorious and our salvation will be complete. In some ways it is hard to wait; in others, we're not sure we want to go through it all. Therefore, let us be faithful, share the Good News, and trust in Him; it will all be worth waiting for.
