Acts of Acts 1 part 2

Acts 1:6-9 ESV
[6] So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” [7] He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. [8] But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” [9] And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
Jesus has so often had to tell us to stop asking questions. He says it nicely, but basically His words say, “stop asking why and when and just trust me.”
Somedays we must be like untrained children following their parents around saying, “Why? Why? Why? Why?” Not because they really want an answer, just because they want to ask why?
Jesus tells us to be patient. To stop asking why? And to start waiting on Him and trusting in Him. The day will come when we finally say, “oh, that was why.” But it’s not yet.
Our job is not to know all the answers, but to simply be witnesses of what we do know. Jesus came to thos earth to die for our sins so we can be His family and be received into Heaven with Him. Why? Because God so loved the world.
