The Church and what comes last
End Times
Loading Titus 2:13…
Paul reduces the future to a Person and calls it a blessed hope. The verse sits inside instructions about sober, godly living, which is how the New Testament almost always uses prophecy. Jesus Himself said no one knows the day, so watchfulness is a way of living rather than a way of calculating.
A prayer from this passage
Lord Jesus, You promised to come again, and that is my hope rather than my fear. Keep me watchful and steady. Let the certainty of Your return make me faithful today instead of anxious about the calendar.
Key truth
The Bible's teaching about the last days aims at watchful, godly living, centred on the return of Christ.
