What Now #3 - Where has Jesus gone? - Mark

There are some things we are not meant to know… and that’s okThere are moments in life when we desperately want answers. We want clarity about the future, certainty about our prayers, and understanding about why things happen the way they do. The disciples felt the same way after Jesus’ resurrection. After witnessing the impossible, they asked Him, “Lord, has the time come?” They wanted details. They wanted a timeline. They wanted to know what God was about to do next.But Jesus responded with something unexpected: “The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times, and they are not for you to know” (Acts 1:7). Some things, Jesus says, were never meant for us to fully know.That can feel uncomfortable. We often build our confidence on what we can see, measure, and control. Yet faith grows in the spaces where certainty ends and trust begins. God does not always give explanations, but He always gives His presence.In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul reminds us that Jesus is now seated “in charge of running the universe… no name and no power exempt from his rule.” Christ has the final word on everything. Even when we cannot see the full picture, Jesus is still reigning with authority and power.The disciples did not know how the story would unfold. They only knew Jesus was alive, He had called them, and He would be with them. The same is true for us. We may not know everything about tomorrow, but we can trust the One who already holds it.
