Mark 12:35
It seems it was more rare to find Jesus asking a question without being asked something first. But, when he did, the questions always baffled the experts of the law. In this case, he is trying to get them to think about their claims. He gives them a difficult question that drives them towards a literal interpretation of the Scriptures. He is looking for more that might be like the scribe that he was just talking to. He was planting seeds in their minds.
Heavenly Father, it is amazing to see how many people will try to twist your Word. But, really, it is best for us to be faithful in our understanding of your book. Thank you for your merciful kindness! You are truly great and mighty. I sit in awe as I think of the works of your hands, yet you are even greater than the whole sum of your creations. I praise you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
