Title: Asking the Lord a question
There are things and events in this world, in this life, that can be explained and answered only by the revelation of God in the Scriptures, by way of conversation: the believer with his questions, his doubts, his anxieties, approaches the Lord of the Bible, and by faith receives an answer, a spiritual truth that the learning of the world cannot give.
The Sadducees were out to trap the Lord Jesus with a question with a legitimacy that has been overburdened by any stretch of the imagination, and the answer to which was non-existent in their prejudiced line of thinking, and with all malice, on the same day the parable of the wedding banquet was spoken to them, the same day the Pharisees went out to trap Him in His words, the same day, without respite from the controversial. And so it is possible to approach God with a complexion of religiosity, in worship, in pleadings of prayer, but carry with it more intrigue and unbelief, which will eventually be exposed, possibly that same day.
Are we bringing a legitimate concern before the King of kings? The Lord would not want to expose us, for sure, be that our intent is for our enlightenment. He wants to answer our questions of even a temporal nature with the relevancy of the spiritual.
