Do You See Anything?

Great questions are thought provoking and can shape our lives; they force us to process information and to develop new ways of seeing reality; they reframe perspectives about the purpose of life and give ownership to the listeners’ life choices.

Ken Coleman, a #1 bestselling author of The Proximity Principle says, “Good questions inform, great questions transform.”

Jesus asks great, penetrating questions that cut to the heart of those who are following him. It’s been observed that Jesus gives less than 10 direct answers but asks 183 different questions of the disciples, the crowd, the Pharisees, and political leaders.

As Jesus is “on the way” to His death and, while traveling with His disciples, He asks them a series of questions and confronts their failure to grasp about His mission as a crucified Messiah (8:31; 9:31; 10:32-34; see 2:20; 3:6, 19 for Mark’s earlier hints about Jesus’ death).

As Jesus’ traveling companions during this Lenten season, like the disciples, we are challenged by the same series of soul-searching questions He asked “on the way.”
