Matthew 24:36-44
Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty.
“Notice what you notice.” But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. (v. 36) That sentence left me a bit confused as to the Son’s time frame. Was Jesus referring to Himself not knowing the “day and hour” while He was still on earth? Or is this a “forever” thing, that after His Resurrection and Ascension and His seat at His Father’s right hand, that He still does not know the “day and hour”? That the Father will one day tell Him, “It’s time!” A really intriguing thought…!
But think about it. Jesus, seated at His Father’s side – He doesn’t know when He will be sent back to earth. But He waits patiently, fully obedient, fully confident in His Father’s time frame. Might it be possible that we could be like that? Fully patient, fully obedient, fully confident in our heavenly Father and His wishes/desires/plans for our lives…??!! WOW! There’s nothing more that I can add to that thought…!! GLORY!
Slava Bohu!
Wow, glory! With Christ as our model, what a challenge. But only through Christ, in His strength. I, we need more silence and prayer listening to God.
