Christ Focused

The first question recorded in the Bible was asked by the serpent in the Garden of Eden. “Did God really say that you must not eat from a tree in the garden?” (Genesis 3:1). We learn a lot from observing how the serpent, Adam, and Eve, each handled the word of God.

James asks, “What is your life?” (James 4:14). There's not a lot of realism about life. The nature of life on this earth is fairly evident, yet people live life as though it were far different to the reality.

In Micah 6:6-8 the questions are asked, “With what shall I come before the Lord?” and “What does the Lord require of you?” The passage shows that God requires your dependence, your attention, and your righteousness.

After Peter preached on the Day of Pentecost, the crowd asked the apostles, 'Brethren, What shall we do?' We compare the account in Acts 2:37-40 with a statement attributed to Max Lucado, 'My only contribution to my salvation is my own sin'.

When Jesus asked his disciples whether they would leave him, Peter answered with the question, 'Lord, to whom shall we go? You alone have the words of eternal life!

Paul (Saul) was travelling to Damascus to persecute Christians. Jesus confronted him. Paul yielded and asked, 'What shall I do, Lord?

Jesus drove the merchants out of the temple. The temple leaders questioned his authority. In this lesson, we look at their impudence, hypocrisy and dishonesty, and observe how Jesus answered them.

An Ethiopian, travelling by chariot on a lonely road, was reading Isaiah 53. He wondered who the prophet was speaking about. Well, God answered his question.
