| The better your question the deeper you’ll go! |
Read through the gospels and you’ll discover that Jesus asked lots of questions. I think he does this, in part, because he wants people to be real with him and to take responsibility for their own lives. One of my favorite of Jesus’ questions is in John chapter 5 when Jesus confronts the paralyzed man at the pool of Bethesda. The pool of Bethesda had healing properties and people gathered there to cure their ailments. The invalid told Jesus that when the waters in the pool were stirring he had no one to help him and others got in the water before he did. It seems Jesus saw through this and ask the man a rather frank question.
