How Does Jesus Mainly Talk?

Jesus mainly talks by asking questions and explaining the answers. Jesus asks around 300 questions in the Gospels –

Who do you say I am? – Matthew 16:13

Do you know what I have done for you? – John 13:12

Where have you put him (Lazarus)? – John 11:34

Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God? John 11:40

How many loaves do you have? – Matthew 15:34

Jesus doesn’t just walk into a situation and start giving an answer. He first probes us with certain questions to ascertain the state of our hearts, and then he Himself provides some answers. These questions can be questions unrelated to the current circumstance. Jesus will answer some of these questions, or we may be able to figure it out on our own through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Sometimes these questions don’t have an answer, but they do highlight certain areas where we need to repent or make corrections.

Sometimes Jesus only gives the answer when he asks the question. Jesus’ question indicates that he is interested in the situation and that he wants to change it.

The answer when provided is always a nature which we need to apply in the situation and grow in the knowledge of God.

Where have you put him (Lazarus)? – Jesus asked this query because he was concerned about Lazarus’s situation. The answer was Jesus was able to raise a dead person even though he was dead for many days. With Jesus everything was alive. These two natures of Jesus seen. When Jesus is there, everything comes to life, and Jesus has the power to raise the dead. Two separate aspects of Jesus’ nature were the answer to this question.

For Pharisees, Jesus would ask questions to probe their heart and expose their pride. For sinners, Jesus would ask questions to bring them to repentance of sins. Jesus would pose questions to those in need whose answers would provide them comfort. Jesus would pose questions to wise people whose answers would reveal His wisdom.

Every disciple was asked so many questions. Jesus primary teaching strategy was asking questions. With these questions, the answers would teach them the Knowledge of God.

In Old Testament, the Spirit of the Lord also asked so many questions to His people. “Son of man, can these bones live?” (Ezekiel 37). God can even make these dried bones come to life, was the reply. By sending His breath, even those in a dry and lifeless state can live.

Before performing a miracle also, Jesus used to ask a question.

These days is Jesus asking you any questions? If he is asking – He is interested in you and wants to be involved in your life. But be very careful to listen to the answer from Jesus or the Holy Spirit.

Hearing a question and hearing the answer is the simplest way to know Jesus.

Sometimes when Jesus asks a question, the Holy Spirit may prompt us with a answer, which we then relay to Jesus. It will be very refreshing when we receive an answer from Jesus.

Sometimes Jesus asks the question, Father prompts the answer to us, and we reply to Jesus. There is always a blessing in this sweet communication. Trinity is involved so much in our communication.

There are moments when Jesus asks a question, the Father prompts the answer to us, and we respond to Jesus. This kind of sweet communication is always a blessing. Trinity gets involved in our daily communication.

When Jesus asks a question, it means He really loves you.

Why do you call me a good teacher? – The Rich Ruler.

If Jesus asking, Are you praying? Are you living a life of truth? Are you reading your Bible?

These questions don’t have an answer, but they do point to areas where we need to repent and correct ourselves.

If Jesus is asking, how many loaves do you have? Can your solution be solved? Do you have enough money?

For these questions, wait for Jesus or Holy spirit to answer this question.

Allow God to do this wonderful work in your lives.
