Don't be deceived

When Jesus spoke about the future, he didn't begin with a timetable but with a warning. Many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ. Wars, earthquakes, famines. Be ye not troubled, the end shall not be yet.

He calls it the beginnings of sorrows, like the pains of labour. Down the centuries people have predicted exact dates for the end. None of them came true. Jesus already knew: don't be afraid, and don't let yourself be driven mad.
