Follow Thou Me: Trusting God With What We Cannot Know

This sermon explores the theme of divine withholding -- the truth that God has intentionally kept certain things from human knowledge, and that this is not a cause for anxiety but an invitation to deeper trust. The pastor walks through several categories of things believers are not meant to know, including the timing of Christ's return, another believer's calling, the shape of tomorrow, the motives of others' hearts, and the reason for personal suffering. Rather than treating this unknowing as a deficit, the sermon frames it as a call to intimacy with God. The answer to every unanswerable question is not more information -- it is a closer walk with the one who holds all answers. The repeated command of Christ to Peter, "Follow thou me," serves as the sermon's anchor and its practical conclusion: believers are not called to decode the hidden things, but to obey the last clear command they were given and keep moving toward Christ.
