Jesus gave us so much wisdom when it comes to answering questions because He understood the difference between a desire to learn and someone seeking to entangle Him with words. Jesus is our standard, follow the progression here:
Matthew 22:15 and 18 ESV
"15 Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to entangle Him in His words.......18 But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, "Why put me to the test, you hypocrites?"
Matthew 22:34-35 ESV
"But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. And one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question to test Him."
Matthew 22:46 ESV
"And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor from that day did anyone dare to ask Him any more questions."
Take note 📝:
People ask because they don't know. People ask because they have malice. People ask because they want to test you and weigh you. People ask because they are trying to prove their worth on a different platform and in a different space. People ask because they seek endorsement and recognition. People ask because they are naughty. People ask because they have an agenda.
When Jesus was done answering, the scripture says "No one dared...." #Jesusthestandard #wordsofwisdom #wisdomsunday #beawareofyoursurroundings
