Jesus spent much time preparing his disciples for his arrest, crucifixion, death and resurrection. Although Peter and the other disciples could not comprehend why Christ must die, Jesus knew the “rest of the story.” His death would make a way for us to be reconciled to God, and his resurrection would triumph over the grave. In the same way, in Matthew 24, Jesus reminds us not to be alarmed by whatever is coming at the end of the age. He wants to replace our fear with His peace and to replace our confusion with the ability to stand firm in our faith.
