John 18:21 - "Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard what I spoke to them; they know what I said.”
Even today, many seek to disprove God and what He has spoken to mankind. His voice goes out into all the earth (Psalm 19), yet many only wish to argue with the obvious. Jesus Christ, the manifestation of God in the flesh, continues to speak today for those who would listen. For those who arrogantly seek to disprove the Bible and His word to mankind, He answers in the same way as he answered the Pharisees, "Why do you question Me?" Defiant arrogance never listens but only seeks its own position. Jesus Christ would not engage it then, nor will he now. When someone is truly ready to hear what He has said, He is more than willing to repeat Himself through His word until the epiphany comes. However, to the obstinate, He will only offer a question in exchange for an arrogant interrogation.
Unfortunately, many of us as Christians question Jesus wrongly. Possibly not in the same arrogant frame as the agnostic or atheistic, but we act similarly when we lack faith. Trusting the Lord ensures His answers, not his questions that will shame us.
