“But you, go your way, and rest; you shall rise for your reward at the end of the days.”

Fuggeddaboudit. (He seemed to say). Don’t worry about the exact timing of the end or what it will look like. You’ll be dead a long time by then so it’s nothing you need to be concerned with. Live your life, die in your time, and leave the rest to God and the resurrection.
And so the message is for us. Those who become obsessed with apocalyptic literature or attempt to determine who the “in” people and the “out” people are or will be are wasting any chance they have to live this incredible, miraculous life God has gifted each of us with. It’s just that simple.
How will I focus on the here-and-now today?
