Bruner’s two volume commentary on Matthew has been one of my favorite since preaching through this gospel. He is exegetically precise and applies the passage pastorally. Regarding the section that I have been preaching on the last few weeks (Matthew 24:4-14) Bruner writes:“Christians at any time should not await the appearance of anyone or anything except Jesus Christ himself, not even a remarkable Antichrist or a conversion of the Jews or anything else except Jesus Christ himself. This Christ-centered expectation is at the heart of the New Testament witness, and no other teaching, however well meant, should be allowed to eclipse him.” (Commentary on Matthew Vol. 2, pg. 494)
