About This Quote

Jesus' answer was one of understanding. He knew how much the man's son meant to him, so he knew he must have been wondering if Jesus would come back soon. Jesus also knew that it took many years for his father to become the loving and caring man that he became, and that he wouldn't want his son to learn all about sex from other people. By answering his question, Jesus was saying that you never know what God has in store for you. And while we can never be sure about tomorrow, we can be sure of one thing: whatever God does, it's always for our good and in our best interests.
