In this episode of Taste and See, we reflect on the gospel for the 33rd Sunday of Ordinary Time, where Jesus describes the end times and His glorious return (Mark 12:24-32). The imagery is intense—darkened skies, angels gathering the elect—and it can stir both excitement and fear. But what if this isn’t just about judgment and apocalyptic visions? What if it’s about longing for the One we love?

Through a personal story of a long-distance relationship, Zac explores the deeper meaning of waiting for Christ. Just as absence made love grow fonder, so does our distance from Jesus increase our desire for Him. We don’t await a distant judge but a beloved Savior who longs to be close to us.
