Consider also the passage where the ‘would-be’ disciples are questioned: “Lord, I’ll follow you anywhere.” “OK, The Son of man has nowhere to lay his head” Implied: Will you follow me there?

Or consider the rich young ruler: “Give me everything you have.”

And then I think about me. What would he say to me?

What lurking unbelief would he reveal with one simple soul searching question?”

Wow, and to think that we have the very probing words of Christ in the inspired scripture which render us naked and open before his presence…discerning our thoughts and the intents of our hearts.

I’m sure the question from Christ would render us speechless and place us on our knees in repentance.
