Words and names carry a lot of power. The names we use or the character traits we use to describe someone often stem from our perception of that person or what we've been told about them. In His time on earth, Jesus was referred to by a lot of different names - some positive and some negative - based on what various people thought of Him or had heard about Him. With that concept in mind, Jesus asked His disciples an important question...one that we still need to answer for ourselves today.
During His ministry, Jesus was asked a lot of questions: "Why do you say the things you do?" "Can you heal this person?" "What do you think about (insert hot topic here)?" But Jesus also asked a lot of questions, questions that challenged people to take an honest look at their actions, their motives, even their faith. And those questions that Jesus asked hundreds of years ago are still relevant questions for us today. For the next few weeks at Flagstone we are going to discover a deeper understanding of God (and hopefully a deeper understanding of ourselves) as we wrestle with some of the questions Jesus asked.
