Endure to The End

We live in the end times, which began with Christ's cross and resurrection. Jesus instructs us to perk up at the signs of global distress, knowing they signal our redemption and the restoration of all things are drawing near. We must also check ourselves against the temptation to get "drunk with distraction" (Luke 21:34), which leads to a frail faith and makes us stop yearning for Christ's return. Finally, we must stay awake through constant prayer, depending on Jesus, who has already endured the end of the world for us. He is our "end-times survival kit", equipping us to endure to the end.
