What do we do when life feels like it’s coming apart? In Matthew 24:29–35, Jesus uses vivid Old Testament imagery and a simple fig tree to help his disciples understand seasons of upheaval, judgment, hope, and renewal. Scot Johnson shows how this passage points us away from obsession, fear, or apathy and toward spiritual readiness. Jesus is the Son of Man, the reigning King whose words will never pass away. When the world feels unstable—or when our own lives feel shaken—we can bear good fruit by bowing to King Jesus, paying attention to our spiritual season, anchoring in Scripture, and joining God’s mission in the world.
