Question for Jesus
Each of us should think about what is my question for Christ?
If I say something like, “Will He help me?” – that is not a question directed to Christ but a question for our self to answer. I need to change the question and ask it directly to Christ. I need to talk to Him. I need to orient my life so that I can so directly talk to Him.
If I ask, “Can you help me, Jesus?” – the answer is yes, of course He could, but whether the help I want is in accordance with God’s will is another issue. To ask that question seems to reflect some doubt in my heart about his ability/power or about His goodness and love.
To ask the right question, I need to think about who Jesus is, what His will and intention is, what is He capable of? And who am I in relationship to Him? Depending on who I am in relationship to Him determines what I can ask of Him.
If I am His servant, and He really is my Lord, I can ask, “How can I serve You?” “What is your will for me?”
My ability to hear His response will depend on my relationship to Him. I need to know who He is before I can relate to Him, or ask the right question of Him.
