Why should Christians focus on the person of Christ and not on the signs of the times?

The message of the gospel centers on Christ and His work, as outlined in Hebrews 12:2, which encourages believers to 'looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.' When Christians fixate on signs and events instead of Christ, they risk losing sight of the foundation of their faith: the person and work of Jesus. The temptation to focus on happenings in the world can detract from gospel ministry, leading to confusion and division within the church. Thus, believers are called to proclaim Christ faithfully, awaiting His return with the assurance that He will gather all His own to Himself.
