In this lecture, Don Carson contrasts cultural visions of the end of the world with a Christian focus on spiritual readiness. Through examining three parables in Matthew, Carson urges believers to stay alert and serve faithfully as they wait for Christ’s return. Carson encourages believers to think strategically, live responsibly, and train the next generation.

He teaches the following:

Why the Western society avoids discussing mortality
The importance of being ready at any time for Jesus's return
What the story of Noah reveals about the suddenness and unexpectedness of judgment
The need for readiness and the consequences of being unprepared
Why Christians should think strategically about their long-term responsibilities
The importance of training the next generation and planning for the future
