Acts 1

"It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority." (Acts 1:7)

Never did the apostles knew that 2000 years from then, we would still be preaching the same gospel and waiting for the restoration of the "kingdom".

I wonder if Christ at that moment knew, since He is no longer flesh, but in a spiritual body. (This sounds like a really deep theological question.....)

Isn't it marvelous that we can be co-workers of God?

"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in....... to the end of the earth." (Acts 1:8)

It was like that back then; it is the same today.

Although God did not allow us to know the time of His second coming, He urged us to be His witnesses in the world and to co-work with Him in this salvation plan.

It is like, "You don't have to know so much. Just go, preach the gospel to all men on earth."

And as generations passed, this duty is handed over to us now. Is this our life's goal? or is there something else? Are we witnesses for Jesus?

p.s. when i think about it, i think the apostles and disciples during Jesus' time are the most blessed co-workers of God. if you run a time-line in your head from the time of creation until today, you will see various workers at various time periods working with God. however, the apostles had Jesus in their midst, dwelling in the flesh among them, and they heard Him, felt Him, saw Him,.... what grace.
