This series is about questions involving Jesus. Some were asked by individuals involved with Jesus
Christ while He walked on earth. Others
are questions that Jesus Christ asked others.
We will look at questions on about 130 topics (some may split into two or
more posts). Even so, it is far from an
exhaustive list.
Scripture ~ “As
soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the
synagogue, ‘Do not be afraid; only believe.’
And He permitted no one to follow Him except Peter, James, and John the
brother of James. Then He came to the
house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw a tumult and those who wept and
wailed loudly. When He came in, He said
to them, ‘Why make this commotion and
weep? The child is not dead, but
sleeping.’
And they ridiculed Him. But when He had put them all outside, He took
the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and
entered where the child was lying. Then
He took the child by the hand, and said to her, ‘Talitha, cumi,’ which is
translated, ‘Little girl, I say to you, arise.’
Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were overcome with great amazement. But He commanded them strictly that no one
should know it, and said that something should be given her to eat” (Mark
5:36-43).
Comment ~ Scripture
says, “For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and
that my soul knows very well” (Psalm 139:13-14).
Jesus Christ is the Great Physician. “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because
He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to
the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who
are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord” (Luke 4:18-19).
“For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and
that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities
or powers. All things were created
through Him and for Him. And He is
before all things, and in Him all things
consist” (Colossians 1:16-17). Think
about that!
