In Mark 13:32 (and Matthew 24:36), Jesus states that He does not know the day or hour of His return—only the Father does. But how can that be? If Jesus is fully God, wouldn’t He be omniscient?
In this episode of What in the Word?, Kirk E. Miller is joined by Brandon Crowe to explore this challenging passage. They discuss different possible explanations—including bad ones!—and the importance of distinguishing Christ’s two natures. Nothing short of our salvation is at stake!
