Mark 9:30-32

Mark 9:30-32

  Ask your questions!!  
  The disciples heard Jesus talking about his resurrection, but they were afraid to ask.  If they'd spoken up here, perhaps they would have been at the tomb early on Easter morning, perhaps they wouldn't have fled in fear.  Perhaps not, but one never knows.
  So ask your questions.  Perhaps as a child you were discouraged from asking questions.  I think the church should encourage questions -- that's how we learn, how we grow.  I don't have the answer to every question, but I believe the questions should be asked -- God is big enough for our questions.  If you have doubts, express them, honestly, with humility, and find someone to seek the answers with.  There are not answers to every question, but leaving them in the dark, pretending they'll go away if you ignore them, is not a good solution either.  
  So ask your questions.  Asking now might help later in ways you can't understand now.
