know later

When I did something my disciples didn’t understand I acknowledged that at the time they didn’t know, but promised that they would understand later. But it was still important that they accepted what I did at the time, even if they didn’t understand it. You have the advantage of the perspective of history, to see the importance of what I did, and how my followers came to understand the meaning of it later. Do you understand that this is an enduring principle? Have you seen it in your own life? Have I ever done anything in your life you didn’t understand at the time? Be prepared to receive them rather than reject them, for as you walk with me in them you will come to understand.
