Why do so many Christians keep trying to predict it? Will there be a rapture? What if your caught sinning on the last great day? How does gathering around Word and sacrament change the end times from a threat into something we actually pray for? Watch the full video on YouTube to discover why we can eagerly pray "Come Lord Jesus" without knowing when because we're already forgiven, already tied to the kingdom, and the last day is your rescue, not your judgment.
