There are six questions asked in this short passage. They were trying to figure out just who He was. Is He the Messiah or what? C.S. Lewis said no one could remain neutral concerning the person of Jesus: “He is either Liar, Lunatic, or Lord.” People back in Jesus’ day were pondering such things. Who is He? (25-26) Where is He from? (v.27) Where is He going? (v.35) They couldn’t come up with answers to any of these questions.  An eight year old girl asked her daddy, who was reading his newspaper, a question and her dad said, “I don’t know, Honey,” as he continued to read his newspaper. She thought for a moment and asked him another question. “I don’t know, Honey.” She paused another minute and asked him yet a third question. Again he replied, “I don’t know, Honey!” Then she asked him, “Does it bother you for me to ask you questions?” He said, “Of course not, Honey, how else are you going to learn anything.”  God Himself asks questions throughout the Bible, not because He is seeking to learn anything. Like any good teacher, Jesus asked questions to try to get us to think and arrive at the right answer without simply being told. “Adam, Where are you?” Like He didn’t know… The omniscient God certainly knew exactly where he was. “Will you also go away? Why are you so slow to believe? Who do people say that I am? Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” Don’t be surprised if He asks you questions. He asked Elijah, “Why are you here?” Jesus liked to answer questions with a question or with an answer that didn’t make sense to anyone. He did this in this passage. Where are you from? My Father sent Me (v.28-29). Where are you going? Where I go you cannot come (v.32-36).  Even with so many unanswered questions, some simply believed in Him (v.31). Why did all these people believe while having all these unanswered questions? SIGNS! Truly His story (His words and works) compel us to believe. His signs were given for that very reason (Jn.20:30-31). Here’s the bottom line – you’re never going to have all your questions answered. And neither will you be able to answer all the questions of the people you talk to about Jesus. “Where did Cain get his wife?” Here’s a major key to soul winning. You’re never going to answer all their questions. Just say, “I don’t know,” and go back to the gospel. Just keep bringing them back to the gospel. They don’t know where Cain got his wife and they don’t even want to know the answers to such questions. What they do need to know (as a matter of heaven and hell) is the gospel of Christ. to click here: https://sites.google.com/view/gracehouseclinton/sermonsStay Connected with Grace Church!
