One of the darkest nights in all history was when the firstborn in every Egyptian home died. The cry of fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, wives and children has not ceased from the time of Adam until now. Even today, some eighty-six thousand of our population will meet their Maker. Some pass beyond the veil of tears without the presence of nurses, doctors, family, or friends, but it is never necessary to pass from this life without the presence of Jesus. His presence is one sure promise that every Christian has.
Perfect knowledge seems to be an ever evasive truth.
The Son of God asked why, just as do we on this dark day in our own hurt hearts. Spiritual maturity comes when we recognize that there are some unknowable sorrows in life. We trust in God who is knows all things. There is much that we as Christians do not know. Simon Peter did not understand the act of humility on the part of his Lord, that He would act as a servant to wash feet.
