Mark 13:32-37

32"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come. 34It's like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with his assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.
35"Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37What I say to you, I say to everyone: 'Watch!' "

The owner of the house (Jesus) will come back suddenly with great power and glory and He has assigned tasks to each one of us. The verses tell us not be asleep when He comes back. What are the assigned tasks that God wants us to take care of in our daily lives? Though diligence and determination in our daily lives are important, I feel it's far more significant to constantly think about if we are obediently walking in the right path and direction that Christ wants us to. We need to be in tune with Him every day so that we can know what tasks He wants us to accomplish...

I certainly want to be awake when Jesus returns!

How can the Father know but not the Son? Again, I am confused by the trinity. How are they all separate but still one? The Bible is explicit that there is only ONE GOD - so how can this ONE GOD be so divided that one part can know but not the other?
