THE APPOINTED TIME
Text: Matthew 24:36; Galatians 4:4
Jesus said, “But of that day and hour knoweth no man… but my Father only” (Matthew 24:36). This does not deny His deity; it reveals His submission to the Father’s appointed time. Jesus came as fully God and fully man, willingly taking the role of a servant.
Notice something powerful: when Jesus was born, angels announced Him to the shepherds as “a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11). Yet Jesus waited about 30 years before beginning His public ministry. Heaven had announced Him, but His manifestation waited for the appointed time.
Here is the revelation: God may reveal WHAT He will do without revealing WHEN He will do it. Jesus was announced before He was publicly manifested, and His return is promised even though the exact day remains hidden.
So never mistake waiting for denial. If God has spoken, trust His timing. The promise may be announced today, but the manifestation will come at the appointed time.
The promise is certain; the timing belongs to God.
