Psalm 110, Jeremiah 5:1-19, Matthew 22:23-46 - Lectionary for 11/4/11

Today's readings are Psalm 110, Jeremiah 5:1-19, and Matthew 22:23-46.

I'm sure I am not the only one ever to notice this. We can see in today's readings that Jesus doesn't always answer questions. There are times when he simply asserts himself and lets people have unanswered questions.

Is there any question we should not ask our Lord? No. We can ask him anything we desire. But let us ask in faith, trusting that he is who he said he is and that he has done what he said he would do, and that he has done it all for us and for our salvation. Has Jesus given his life for us? Then he will surely give us all we need and answer every question which needs an answer. What if our questions go unanswered? Does that mean we did not ask in faith? It may. Or it may simply mean we were not ready for an answer. But we are free to ask.
