The anonymity of being just another face in the crowd exempts us from making any personal commitment. Jesus’ question was, and is, intended to move people from the Crowd to the Committed.

Jesus asks a vital question to His disciples. It is the same question He puts to each one of us.

This is the million dollar question. It the question the gospel writers are constantly prompting us to respond to. And how we chose to answer it will change our life.

Jesus challenges James and John  to re-evaluate their role in his kingdom.

When a woman is healed by secretly touching Jesus’ cloak, his response was not an angry “Who dared to do that?” it was “Who needed help?”

From the cross, Jesus asks a question of the Father, but could it be that there is a reason that this question is the only one of the seven statements from the cross that Peter (Mark’s primary source) remembers?

Jesus shows the difference the simple act of reaching out to him can make in our lives.

What happens when a marginalized woman goes head to head with a high ranking official – both vying for the touch of Jesus in the most desperate of circumstances? What are we to learn from the way Jesus handled this interruption?

Jesus loved to answer a question with a question, and in doing so, often brings us face to face with answers we already know, but don’t particularly like.

Can God really help?  When times of trouble come where to you look for support and salvation?  The Psalmist says “I lift up my eyes to the hills where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD.”
