[Discoveries] 05-28-08 The Father's surprise -- Matthew 24:36

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, 
nor the Son, but only the Father. -- Matthew 24:36*/

This is one of the most incredible passages in all of scripture. In some 
way that I cannot explain, the Father knows something that no one else 
in the universe knows. Not even the Son.

As I was contemplating this passage today, a thought came to me, and I 
want to share it with you. The Father is preparing a gift for His Son 
and for His Son's bride. The Father, who knows your mind and mine, who 
knows the mind of the Son, has planned something for all of us.

I can't prove, of course, that this is why the Son doesn't know. But it 
makes sense to me.

My dad loved Christmas. He always stuffed our stockings and spent money 
he didn't have to buy us things he thought would make us happy. I sense 
a similar kind of excitement on the part of the Father, as He gets ready 
to welcome His children into their eternal home.

Be encouraged!
