Questions Jesus Asked

QUESTIONS JESUS ASKED   Bible Study       First and foremost, I dedicate this Bible Study to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He has the answer to everlasting life. When some disciples left Jesus because of some hard teachings, He turned to his disciples and asked if they too would go away. The Apostle Peter said, “Lord to whom shall we go? You have the words to eternal life.   I also dedicate this Bible Study to Sister Becky Sears and her son, Brother Parker Sears. Sister Becky loves my studies and me. I love her dearly and she is a great child of God, much loved. I’m always telling them they ask more questions than anybody I know! But in all seriousness, we ask questions when we want to learn. I’ve always been told “no question” (asked in earnest) is a dumb question. I don’t know if that is true or not, but it makes sense to me.  If one is afraid of asking questions they may never find an answer.   I, too, have always had an inquisitive mind. As a matter of fact, my inquisitive mind

QUESTIONS JESUS ASKED Bible Study      My Pastor once asked, “ have you ever thought about the questions Jesus asked ?” I had to stop and think... no, I have never given it much thought.    But it did make me think if Jesus asked a question, it must have been an important one, and we might ought to find the answers to those questions. In fact, depending on our response, they could be life-changing questions.    I realize that in the culture which Jesus lived, asking questions was a method of learning, but Jesus always knew the answers. He didn’t need to ask them. He IS the answer. What does He need to know?  His questions were to cause His listeners to think. And, they do.   Maybe the plan was not having all the right answers, but to develop the curiosity to ask the right questions.    WHAT DO YOU THINK?  (By the way, Jesus asked that question 7 times)   I encourage readers to read the suggested verses from the KJV Bible. Some of the verses listed in this Bible Study are paraphrased by

QUESTIONS JESUS ASKED BIBLE STUDY   Read Genesis 3:  Where art thou?   (Genesis 3:9)   THE FALL OF MANKIND Reference: Genesis 3   God’s first question, ironically, is in the first book of the Bible, in the Garden of Eden. I will begin this Bible study here so that we will understand God’s Full Plan of Salvation for Man.   Adam and Eve had sinned. They went against what God had commanded them not to do. Isn’t that just like mankind today? God says don’t do this, don’t do that, and we do it anyway. We partake of the fruit of sin.    The fall of man occurred sometime after God created the world and after Satan’s rebellion in heaven. We find the biblical account of creation and the fall of man in  Genesis 1–3 . In the book of Genesis, God spoke everything into existence: sky, planets, seas, vegetation, animals, and everything else. He pronounced it all “good” ( Genesis 1:25 ). But when God made man, He took the dust of the earth and formed the first man ( Genesis 2:7 ). God breathed His ow

QUESTIONS JESUS ASKED BIBLE STUDY   Read Luke 2:40-52 KJV:    How is it that ye sought me? Did you not know that I must be about my Father’s business?  (Luke 2:49)   ABOUT MY FATHER’S BUSINESS Reference: Luke 2:40-52   “Son why have you done this to us? Your father and I both have been worried sick looking for you?” These are the words spoken by Jesus’ mother, after she had anxiously been looking for Him.  It was their custom to go to Jerusalem at the Feast of the Passover every year.  At that time, Jesus was only twelve years old. His parents, not knowing that Jesus had stayed behind, began their journey back home.   An entire day had gone by when they discovered He wasn’t with them.  His parents thought Him to be with some of their relatives. When their own relatives and friends also didn’t know where He was, they went back. After seeking Him for three days, they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors (teachers), listening to them and asking them questions. And

QUESTIONS JESUS ASKED BIBLE STUDY        Read John 35-51 KJV:       What seek ye?   (John 1:38)   Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou?  (John 1:50)   WHAT ARE YOU SEEKING?  JESUS CALLS HIS DISCIPLES Reference: john 35-51   What do you seek? This is the first questions Jesus asked His first followers. His question applies with equal force to you and I.    When John the Baptist baptized Jesus he proclaimed Him “The Lamb of God”. And again, the next day as he and two of his disciples stood he saw Jesus walk by and proclaimed, “Behold, the Lamb of God!” The two disciples heard John speak, and they decided to follow Jesus. When Jesus noticed them following Him, he turned to them and asked,  “What seek ye?”  They ask him, “Master, where do you dwell?” Jesus said,  “Come and see.”  They went with Jesus and spent the day with Him.   One of the two was Andrew (Simon Peter’s brother). Andrew went and found his brother Peter and told him, “We have found the Mes

QUESTIONS JESUS ASKED BIBLE STUDY      Read John 2:1-11   Woman, what have I to do with thee?    JESUS’ FIRST MIRACLE - WATER INTO WINE Reference: John 2:1-11   Jesus, His disciples, and His mother was called to a marriage in Cana of Galilee. It is not stated whose wedding they were attending, but Mary, Jesus’ mother seems to have been involved in helping to care for the many guest. It is stated that when the guest wanted more wine, the mother of Jesus came to him and said, “They have no wine.” Jesus said unto her,  “Woman, what have I to do with thee? Mine hour is not come yet.”  In effect Mary is suggesting that Jesus do something about the lack of wine. She then turns to the servants and says, “Do whatever He tells you.”   No one except Jesus’ mother, the disciples, and the servants who filled the pots with water knew the origin of the wine. The wine must have indeed been very good because the governor of the feast who tasted the wine asked the groom why he didn’t serve the best win
