Introduction
~
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 ~ “Now
it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and
teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea,
and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord
was present to heal them. Then behold,
men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and
lay before Him. And when they could not
find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the
housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before
Jesus. When He saw their faith, He said
to him, ‘Man, your sins are forgiven you.’ And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason,
saying, ‘Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?’ But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, He
answered and said to them, ‘Why are you reasoning in your hearts? Which is easier, to say, “Your sins
are forgiven you,” or to say, “Rise up and walk”? But that you may know that the Son of Man has
power on earth to forgive sins’ — He said to the man who was paralyzed, ‘I say
to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.’ Immediately he rose up before them, took up
what he had been lying on, and departed to his own house, glorifying God. And they were all amazed, and they glorified
God and were filled with fear, saying, ‘We have seen strange things today!’” (Luke
5:17-26).
“So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon
Peter, ‘Simon, son of Jonah, do you love
Me more than these?’ He said to Him,
‘Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.’ He
said to him, ‘Feed My lambs.’ He said to
him again a second time, ‘Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?’ He said to Him, ‘Yes, Lord; You know that I love
You.’ He said to him, ‘Tend My sheep.’ He said to him the third time, ‘Simon, son of
Jonah, do you love Me?’ Peter was
grieved because He said to him the third time, ‘Do you love Me?’ And he said to Him, ‘Lord, You know all
things; You know that I love You.’ Jesus
said to him, ‘Feed My sheep. Most
assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked
where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and
another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish.’ This He spoke, signifying by what death he
would glorify God. And when He had
spoken this, He said to him, ‘Follow Me’” (John 21:15-19).
