When Jesus Has A Question
We all have questions...
My kids have questions.. mostly like.. can I have this candy.. NOPE!
Ayden - Good Questions —
“Why Did God Make Noah Bring All The Animals?”
Ayden - Good Questions — “What Is The Prayer of Faith” “What
“Is God Male or Female?”
“What Is The Prayer of Faith?”
“Did The Walls of Jericho Fall Straight Down, or Sideways?”
“Why Is Communion Important?”
“Why Was The Devil Called The Morning Star?” (referring to
“Why Was Moses Chosen?”
Those questions are all fine and dandy.. but when it boils right down to it.
We rarely lose sleep over someone else’s questions.
We all have got our OWN questions.
“Lord, what is your PERFECT WILL for my life?
“Lord, what are you saying to me through your Word today?”
“.....Lord, are ya there…?”
WE ALL HAVE QUESTIONS
1st Question
Jesus Question As A Child
Luke 2:41-
Let’s Look Closer At Verse 49
2nd Question
Probably Jesus first recorded question in His Adult Public Ministry is found in
Look a little closer at the questions
Mark 2:8
Basically what we read here, is Jesus asking those around him...
“You really think I don’t know what this man needs?
I see His physically dilemma...
But, I ALSO SEE THE STATE IN WHICH HE IS FAR WORSE OFF..
HE IS A SINNER IN NEED OF MY FORGIVENESS!
DO YOU THINK THAT IT IS EASIER FOR ME TO SAY TO THIS MAN.. YOU’RE FORGIVEN..
OR GET ON OUT OF THAT SICK BED, AND WALK?”
The very first question from the mouth of Jesus in His public ministry is this..
“YOU REALLY THINK I CAN’T HANDLE WHATEVER PROBLEM YOUR DEALING WITH?
I AM THE GOD OF FORGIVENESS!
I AM ALSO THE GOD OF POWER TO PERFORM!
YOU HAVE NEVER KNOWN A NEED THAT I WILL NOT MEET!”
3rd Question
Another one of, again if not the first recorded question Jesus asks in his public ministry in adulthood is found in the sermon on the mount in
Jesus first makes a statement to the listening audience of followers, to help make alive to them their purpose and true identity
SALT OF THE EARTH =
SALT OF THE EARTH =
The sermon of the mount is believed to have been on a particular mountain near the Sea of Galilee, which is only about 90 miles from a body of water known as the Dead Sea.
The concentration of salt in the Dead Sea is ten times higher than that of any other sea or lake on earth.
Every liter of its sea water contains an average of 30 grams of salts and other minerals.
It is one of the greatest sources of salt in the world.

Every liter of its sea water contains an average of 30 grams of salts and other minerals.
It is one of the greatest sources of salt in the world.
No animal or plant can exist here.
Few fish are found in it, although it is not true that birds which venture near its vapour fall down dead.
Because of its high specific gravity, no one will ever sink or drown while bathing there.
Nobody has ever committed suicide there by drowning.
It was said that Vespasian, commander of the Roman legion which later destroyed Jerusalem in AD 70, heard of this fact.
He tested it by ordering slaves to be thrown into the sea waves with their hands and feet tied.
The slaves floated.
Because of its high specific gravity, no one will ever sink or drown while bathing there.
Nobody has ever committed suicide there by drowning.
To the listener, who would be well aware of the importance and power of salt..
Jesus is making a strong connection!
If we would but for a moment understand why our lives are called to be salty!
“Ye are the salt of the earth.”
One suggestion after another was made as to the meaning of “salt” in this verse.
“Ye are the salt of the earth.”
One suggestion after another was made as to the meaning of “salt” in this verse.
“Salt imparts a desirable flavor,” said one.
“Salt preserves from decay,” another suggested.
Then a Chinese Christian girl spoke out of an experience none of the others had.
“Salt creates thirst,” she said, and there was a sudden hush in the room.
Everyone was thinking: Have I ever made anyone thirsty for the Lord Jesus Christ?
“Salt imparts a desirable flavor” - ever had canned green beans without salt?
“Salt preserves from decay” - salt-cured ham!

“Salt creates thirst” - The human body can't live without some sodium.
It's needed to transmit nerve impulses, contract and relax muscle fibers (including those in the heart and blood vessels), and maintain a proper fluid balance.
One of the first questions Jesus asks in his Adult ministry, is basically summed up like this...
“I am calling you to impart my desirable life to this searching world..
I am calling you, not to sit on a spiritual shelf of uselessness, but to permeate society, and preserve it from utter decay, with my Life being the message you deliver!
And for Heaven’s sake, GO MAKE SOMEONE THIRSTY FOR WHAT IS LIVING INSIDE OF YOU!
DON’T COMPRISE AND LOSE THE SALTINESS OF YOUR LIFE..
But on the other hand, DON’T OVER DOSE THE WORLD FROM YOUR SALTINESS
Allow my life in you to make people thirsty for my
holiness
heartbeat
higher-calling!
If your life doesn’t produce a similar characteristics within the world around you.. what good are you?”
If your life doesn’t produce a similar reaction within the world around you.. what good are you?
YOU ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH!
Matt 5:43-
4th Question
Another Question or Group of Questions Comes just a few paragraphs down in verses 43-48.
Specifically, the questions we want to look at are those found in
Matt 5:46-47
Publicans = tax collectors.
Considered traitors to the Jewish audience because they worked for the government of Rome by insuring the conquered Jewish subjects paid up to Caesar.
They were hated by all orthodox people!
