“Like a Thief in the Night” - Episode 3 in the series, “The Second Coming”

In the third episode of our series, Jonah and Patrick explore the description of Christ’s coming to us “like a thief in the night” (Matthew 24: 42-44). The picture implies that Christ’s return is a phenomenon that could be missed, that could be slept through. How do we awaken from this sleep, this blindness? Can we begin to recognize Christ breaking into our lives today—through a person, through an event, through the practice of turning towards Him? He is knocking at the door, if we will only let Him in.In the third episode of our series, Jonah and Patrick explore the description of Christ’s coming to us “like a thief in the night” (Matthew 24: 42-44).
