“Some Things No Man Knows”

America has been known for its many advances in knowledge and technology through the years. Certainly with access to the internet, we have access to more knowledge than previous generations. In spite of these facts, there are some things man does not know.
For example, man does not know when Christ will return. Jesus said, “But concerning that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father” (Mk. 13:32). Though man continues to make predictions about the Lord’s return, he has no idea when Christ will return! Folks have been predicting the return of the Lord almost since the time He ascended to His Father (Mk. 16:19)! No man knows when Christ will return. Our responsibility is to be ready for His return, whenever it may be (Mk. 16:16; I Cor. 15:58)!
In addition to this, man does not know how long he will live. Solomon tells us not to boast of tomorrow (Prov. 27:1). We have no lease on life. Our life is a “vapor” at its longest (Jas. 4:14). Therefore, instead of living like you will never die, live as if today is all we have. Become a Christian before it is too late (II Cor. 6:2; Acts 22:16; Heb. 3:7-8).
Yes, man has learned much while upon this earth. However, there are some “secret things” he will never know (Deut. 29:29). Because of this, let us be satisfied with what God has revealed to us (I Pet. 4:11). Let us be prepared for Christ's return while we have time and opportunity. Let us not squander the time we have upon this earth!
