Oh boy, what a pickle they were in. Either way they replied, they knew they were “in trouble.” We have all been in that situation either as a child or as a parent questioning our children. Being in a situation like that as a child can be very stressful!! Do you say what you want to say or say what you know will keep you or get you out of trouble? As an adult questioning a child, you know you just asked a loaded question. Either answer will tell you a lot. So, is it right to ask a question you know will make the answerer squirm? Maybe that was what Jesus was trying to do. Make them squirm. Make them really think about their answer and think about what their beliefs are. We all should be a little uncomfortable and squirm a bit so that then we dig deeper into our faith and our religion. Get to the heart of it by researching, digging, soul searching. By doing this, we can only then be closer to God. Let’s not just proclaim to know God, but rather squirm a little and require more of ourselves to get to a deeper and more meaningful relationship with Him!
