The David Alliance
Garth Heckman
IT WAS…
A SERIES OF UNCOMFORTABLE QUESTIONS!
Jesus asks impossible things ("you feed them"),
- and people ask Him impossible things (water-walking).
Jesus asks us uncomfortable questions (Why give to the dogs what was meant for the children)
- We ask him questions we can rationalize (God I know you understand, I know you are a forgiving God)
Jesus asks improbable questions: (Why would you call me good?, do you want to get well?)
- We ask self serving questions (Isn’t everybody doing it? But isn’t it just easier this way)
Pose the question: What if the way we ask, and the way we respond to being asked, exposes our actual theology—not our stated one?
Because it does.
THOUGHT: Jesus's Questions Expose What We Believe, Not What We Know
LUKE 5 Jesus first ask of a disciple - makes no sense.
Peter objects but obliges.
**What Jesus exemplified - He stood in the boat and preached, and it drew a multitude of fish to him.
APPLICATION: Jesus: “Follow my ask and watch what I can do.”
