In today’s Truth Over Tradition Devotional, we continue our series on Matthew 24. Jesus warns His disciples not to be deceived by false messiahs, alarmed by wars, or shaken by disasters. These things will happen, but they are not the end.

This devotional, “The Beginning of Birth Pains,” reminds us that these trials are like labor pains—painful, but pointing to something greater: the hope of Christ’s return and the renewal of all things.
