Asking Jesus anything

 If you could ask Jesus anything, what would it be? 

       Would you ask him why there is suffering in the world? Would you ask him how it felt when he died? Or what is heaven like? There are so many things to ask him. And he has answered a lot in the New Testament.  What if he doesn't know the answer to some questions? In fact,  it says in the bible only the father knows the answers to everything. Jesus in Matthew 24:36, states, "But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only". But if you ask him a question I believe the answer is from a “grown to understand or have insight” form.  

      People like to say that Jesus is the father, instead of understanding that the father and him are one. I like to think of it as “you are your father” in modern day terms. Which means you come from your fathers genes. He made you,  you act just like your father.  This is how I like to think of father, son, and holy spirit relationship. He is able to be our king outside of the God division because he is human born. He had to be born so he can have all the experience as a person would so he can be able to be relatable. Isn't that what people want? He has to be able to “get it”.

       In the Old testament the people did not want God as their King. They instead wanted to be like other nations with a person as their king, not to mention they were terrified of God. The lineage of kings so far have fallen short of what God wanted for us. God chooses them and all but we need one that is willing to obey God through everything, love the people, keep the commandments, and have the “way” to be. And of course be willing to put the people before himself or at least equal to himself like a good shepherd. 

        I believe Jesus started his ministry in his thirties because he had to live. Experience. Mess up. Understand. Hate. love. Be saddened. Without. And with. My understanding is that he gets a lot of his knowledge from trying to figure things out and having his father’s help for guidance and understanding. If you want the answers to things, ask God himself and go on the path to find out with God at the center. And of course if you need encouragement or help Jesus is there for you, as a good shepherd to keep you going straight, as well.
