Some Thoughts on the Importance of Asking Questions
Solomon was the wisest man who ever lived—and could answer any question with his God-given wisdom.
“When the queen of Sheba heard of Solomon’s fame, she came to Jerusalem to test him with hard questions. Arriving with a very great caravan—with camels carrying spices, large quantities of gold, and precious stones—she came to Solomon and talked with him about all she had on her mind. Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too hard for him to explain to her.” (2 Chronicles 9:1-2)
None of us is Solomon, but sometimes we try. Such was the case of the Pharisees and experts of the law. Jesus reprimanded them because they acted like they knew it all:
“Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge.”
(Luke 11:52)
When I was growing up, I thought adults had all the answers, and it was only a matter of time before I would have all the answers too. But when I became an adult, one secret I learned is the importance of asking great questions. The right question can bring penetrating focus to a sermon, help crack open an interview, help a person struggling with low self-esteem see their worth, gather information locked in hurt and pain, and break the ice of a frozen heart.
That said, I’ve also discovered adults do not have all the answers, and even stopped asking the most important questions, such as: Who am I? Why am I here? Where did I come from? Where am I going? How should I live? What is the meaning of life? Why has God breathed life into me, for heaven’s sake?
People stop asking these existential questions because, humanly speaking, they are often unknowable by human reason. The answers from philosophy are not convincing because philosophy can argue in any direction.
But if God has spoken from heaven, and has even come to earth, then our deepest questions have been answered. Jesus Christ is the key to knowing all that is most important. Jesus Christ is the answer to life’s existential questions. He unlocks the meaning of the Bible, and thus the meaning of life. The only way to understand life is through the person of Jesus Christ.
Jesus is the answer, my friends!
