Read/Outline Matthew > 24: 1-31. ...also widely known or referred to as: "The Olivet Discourse"

Define any unknown words.

Explain the context of the passage. Who is Jesus talking to? in speaking to the disciples, Jesus begins to answer their questions of when will the end be and what are the signs of the end of the age.

In Matt. 24:3 they ask Jesus about the end of the age. What are they talking about? I believe they are looking for insight as to when He will return and reign over His kingdom on earth.

In Matt. 24:14 Jesus said the gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world. What is the gospel of the kingdom? That He's Coming To Earth ( 2nd coming ) to setup His rule here and that all who are His followers will reign together with Him.

How would you explain the gospel to someone? That we are all born in sin shaped in iniquity and in need of a savior. That Jesus came down from heaven to suffer, die and rise again to forgive us our sins and be that Savior. And that ALL who believe and put their trust in Him alone ( Acts 4:12 ) to have our sins forgiven and justified before a holy God, shall not proceed to a devil's hell but go on to live with Him in everlasting life with the Father ( John 3:16 ). And that if they have not yet set their mind to that immutable truth they can certainly do it now and easily by just aligning themselevs with His promise to save anyone that calls on Him by Asking Him with a contrite heart to come into their lives, save them and be their savior.
