"There are things that we will never know. That can be discouraging, but it can also be motivating... I don't love it. I don't love this idea that we will never know. But this is how we begin our Advent season: in the strangeness, and the darkness, and just the straight up honesty that there are things we will never know."
Text: Matthew 24:36-44
