9781523463664: Jesus' Questions for Present Day Christians

Synopsis

What questions did Jesus ask and are they still relevant for present day Christians? This book uncovers and reflect on the questions Jesus Christ asked his disciples as well as real-common-down-to-earth people he encountered. Sometimes, the questions were more than they expected but they were his questions. Those questions are engines for reflection by people who choose to follow Christ in the 21st Century. This is not like a game of Trivial Pursuit. In that game, nothing of significance hinges on the answers to the questions. In contrast, there is nothing trivial about the questions Jesus asked. Our place in the family of Christ depends on our answers to his questions. Moreover, the future of the Church depends answers on the answers as well. The book does not propose conclusive answers but offers reflection as a doorway to answers. To this end, Reflection and Discussion Guides are included to assist the reader on the way to answers in processing the answers.
