In Questions Jesus
Asks, Israel Wayne explored twenty questions Jesus asked while on His time
of Earth and many of these questions included questions He asked the many
different people He encountered. Israel Wayne began the book by reminding
readers that Jesus was constantly seeking intimacy and unity between Him and
God. He did the work of His Father and reply on His guidance throughout His
time on Earth. One of the first questions, Israel Wayne discussed was, “Who Do
People Say that I Am?” He shared some quotes from different atheists and
Christians about who they thought Jesus truly was. Next, he explored the
passages where Jesus asked the disciples what others said about who he was. He
also asked them who they believed He was. He revealed a shocking poll from
Harris (2013) about if people believed Jesus was God or the Son of God, if He
was born a virgin, and if he really did rise again. The heartbreaking reality
is the numbers have slightly dropped. Some of the others questions, he investigated
was, “Why Are You Afraid”, “Has No One Condemned You”, “Why Have You Forsaken
Me”, “Why Do You Persecute Me”, “Do You Want to Get Well”, and many more.
One of my favorite chapters was, “Why Are You Afraid” because
this one conversed the importance of only having one fear in our lives. And
that fear is fearing the Lord (Prov. 23:17). Israel Wayne was very open about
revealing when he was a little boy being afraid of the dark until he eventually
overcame this fear. Many people in the Bible also struggled with fear
controlling their lives. For instance, Abraham, Moses, Joseph and Mary, the
children of Israel, and many more. In this chapter, he dug into the scriptures concerning
the disciples being afraid of the storm and their boat sinking and they would
all die. Meanwhile, Jesus was asleep and at peace while the storm was occurring.
Israel Wayne prompted readers to trust God and not fear our circumstances.
I would recommend this awesome book about the questions
Jesus asked while His journey on Earth and His departure to Heaven. Israel
Wayne did an excellent job at researching all of the questions Jesus asked and
answered. I liked how Israel Wayne included countless scripture verses to back
up his beliefs. This book taught me a great deal about the power of fear,
forgiveness, counseling, healing, suffering, persecution, and much more. I also
liked how Israel Wayne wasn’t afraid to cover the topics of money, government,
and apologetics. This book will probe believers to dig deeper into scriptures and
discover the answers found in God’s written Word.

About The Book:
Jesus rarely answered questions He was asked, but instead turned the tables by asking a piercing question of His own. Questions Jesus Asks goes through a broad spectrum of these, dealing with issues like morality, suffering, humility, faith, and much more.
