Your Father Knows
The Gospel
passage used for this Sunday begins at verse 37 of Chapter 24 of Matthew.
In the
verse immediately precedes it, Jesus says, “But of that day and hour no one
knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.”
It is this
same Father who Jesus earlier in Matthew taught us to pray to as “Our Father” [1] . Jesus continued in Chapter 6 pointing out
that the Father takes care of even the birds of the sky and the grass of the
field. Jesus assured us that “Your
Father knows what you need before you ask him.”
It is
with this attitude that we must begin the Season of Advent. It is with this attitude that we must live
our daily life as we wait the coming of the Son of Man.
