Do you have questions?

Thomas C. Asher

I often think how great it would be to ask Jesus a few questions, face to face. I wouldn't try to stump him as the Pharisees did. I would just ask a few simple questions like the ones the Bible tells us people asked him when he was on earth.

For instance, in the Gospel of John we hear that one time a crowd of people followed Christ Jesus up a mountain where he had gone with his disciples. Jesus asked his disciple Philip where they could buy bread to feed so many people. He was testing Philip to see what he would say. Philip answered that even a large amount of money would buy only a little bread for each. Then Andrew, another disciple, pointed out that one boy in the crowd had brought five loaves and two fish, but he added, "What are they among so many?"^{John 6:9;}

Andrew's question sounds like some of mine. "How can God supply my needs?" "What can I do with my limited intelligence and talents?"
