Jesus Christ asks hundreds of questions in the bible. Some
are rhetorical some beg for an answer, some are directed to the people as a
whole and some to specific individuals. But regardless of the question being
posed, the intention is always the same which is to encourage thought and
discussion and to prompt even more questions.
In What Did Jesus Ask?, more
than 70 of today's most prominent spiritual writers, religious leaders and
artists offer modern meditations on the questions Jesus asks in the Bible.
Their contemplation's provide telling context, with both contemporary and
traditional interpretations to lead readers on an exploration of their own
faith and to shape their own meaningful answers.
As a teacher, Jesus Christ put many of his lessons in the form of questions. The gospels recorded some 100 others. Some are rhetorical, needing no answer, but most were real questions posed to real people. Many of Jesus' questions are familiar to readers today, yet the context and the potential interpretations of such phrases will offer enlightenment to many. Organized by Biblical verse, these enigmatic questions include:
"You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" - Matthew 8:26

My
Opinion: I really enjoyed reading this thought provoking book that really made
sense to me. I need to read it more often to help reassure myself that it will
be all ok and not stress out so much. I think everyone should read this as
there are stories we all could learn from.
