We want a word from God. When, before our eyes, hijacked airplanes crash into buildings, and the towers of the World Trade Center plunge to the ground snuffing out thousands of lives, when evil suddenly and irrevocably transcends the limits of what we have assumed is possible, we desperately seek to know what God intends for us.

In the final days of Jesus’ ministry, “so many thousands of the multitude had gathered together that they trod upon one another” in their desire to hear him. Luke reports that Jesus spoke first to his small group of disciples and said, “Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.” There is, he warned, a larger truth than the one you think you know.
