While writing the recent "Time Problem" post, I began to wonder if Jesus suffered the same time restrictions we do while he was living on our time-controlled planet.
It seems there were some time-related questions that he didn't choose to answer, or maybe, couldn't answer because he was stuck with our time limitations.
Let's consider these two occasions:
The Kingdom Question.
Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”
He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority."
[Acts 1 : 6, 7 NIV]
The Lord's Day Question.
“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.
So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him."
[Matthew 24 : 42, 44 NIV]
I appreciate there are other issues at play here, especially the need for Jesus' disciples to be alert and remain faithful, but I still wonder if there is a time restriction factor involved here.
What do others think?
Blessings, Barry
