1. Matthew 24:6 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

What should be the response of Jesus’ disciples to wars and rumours of war?

Matthew 24:6 (ESV)

6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet.

Before the Son of Man comes in glory, there will be many wars and rumours of wars. Fighting and conflict between men will continue until the day when Christ comes to make all things new. Believers must not allow themselves to be alarmed by the wars that take place. False teachers will use news of war to try and scare people into joining their cults.1
