Jesus can Fish!

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.”
