As Jesus prepares to ascend into heaven, the disciples ask Him when the Kingdom will finally be restored. Jesus replies by a correction to their faulty assumptions with clarity and timelines: “It is not for you to know the times or the seasons that the Father has established by his own authority.” Our job is to receive the power and presence of the Holy Spirit and be witness to the things God has done, while we wait for the promises Jesus made to be fulfilled in ways we canno…t accurately predict or know. A life of faith is radical trust in a future we cannot control. God has promised Resurrection at the end of the cross, his constant presence with us, and unconditional love, but not that these will be worked out in any particular way. We need to be cautious about our own expectations and about messages that overcommit on how God is at work.
