What is the significance of 'where the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered'?

Answered in 1 source

'Where the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered' signifies the drawing of the elect to Christ, who is the revealed sacrifice for sin.

In Matthew 24:28, the phrase 'where the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered' implies that the true people of God are instinctively drawn to the reality of Christ's sacrifice. The carcass represents Christ’s death, which is the focal point of the Gospel. Like eagles gathering at the carcass, believers are drawn to Christ out of spiritual necessity. This draws attention to the dynamic relationship between the sacrifice of Christ and the spiritual hunger instilled in the elect, underscoring their need for Him in the life of faith and salvation.
