Central truth · Question

Questions about Jesus can become a way to avoid the truth if we refuse to consider evidence honestly.

ማርቆስ 11:27-12:12 · NASV
እንደ ገና ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም መጡ፤ ኢየሱስ በቤተ መቅደሱ ቅጥር ግቢ ውስጥ በሚዘዋወርበት ጊዜ፣ የካህናት አለቆች፣ ጸሐፍትና የሕዝብ ሽማግሌዎች ወደ እርሱ ቀርበው፣ “እነዚህን ነገሮች የምታደርገው በምን ሥልጣን ነው? እነዚህን እንድታደርግስ ይህን ሥልጣን የሰጠህ ማን ነው?” አሉት። ኢየሱስም መልሶ እንዲህ አላቸው፤ “እኔም አንድ ጥያቄ ልጠይቃችሁ፤ መልሱልኝ፤ እኔም እነዚህን ነገሮች በምን ሥልጣን እንደማደርግ እነግራችኋለሁ። የዮሐንስ ጥምቀት ከሰማይ ነበረችን ወይስ ከሰው? መልሱልኝ!” እነርሱም እርስ በርሳቸው እንዲህ ተባባሉ፤ “ ‘ከሰማይ ነው’ ብንል፣ ‘ታዲያ ለምን አላመናችሁበትም?’ ይለናል፤ ‘ከሰው ነው’ ብንል …” ሕዝቡ ሁሉ ዮሐንስ እውነተኛ ነቢይ እንደ ሆነ ይቈጥር ስለ ነበር ፈሩ። ስለዚህ ለኢየሱስ፣ “አናውቅም” ብለው መለሱለት። ኢየሱስም፣ “እንግዲያውስ እኔም እነዚህን ነገሮች በምን ሥልጣን እንደማደርግ አልነግራችሁም” አላቸው። ከዚያም እንዲህ እያለ በምሳሌ ይነግራቸው ጀመር፤ “አንድ ሰው ወይን ተከለ፤ ዙሪያውን ዐጠረ፤ ለመጭመቂያው ጕድጓድ ቈፈረ፤ የመጠበቂያም ማማ ሠራለት፤ ለገበሬዎችም አከራይቶ ወደ ሌላ አገር ሄደ። በመከር ጊዜም ከወይኑ ፍሬ እንዲያመጣለት ባሪያውን ወደ ገበሬዎቹ ላከ። እነርሱ ግን ይዘው ደበደቡት፤ ባዶ እጁንም ሰደዱት። እንደ ገናም ሌላ ባሪያ ላከ። እነርሱም ራሱን ፈንክተውና አዋርደው መለሱት። አሁንም እንደ ገና ሌላ ላከ፤ ይህኛውንም ገደሉት፤ ከሌሎች ከብዙዎቹ መካከል አንዳንዶቹን ደበደቡ፤ አንዳንዶቹንም ገደሉ። “አሁንም የሚላክ ሌላ ነበረው፤ እርሱም የሚወድደው ልጁ ነበረ፤ ‘ልጄንስ ያከብሩታል’ በማለት ከሁሉ በኋላ ላከው። “ገበሬዎቹ ግን እርስ በርሳቸው፣ ‘ይህማ ዋናው ወራሹ ነው፤ ኑ እንግደለው፤ ርስቱ የእኛ ይሆናል’ ተባባሉ፤ ከዚያም ይዘው ገደሉት፤ ከወይኑ ስፍራም አውጥተው ጣሉት። “እንግዲህ የወይኑ አትክልት ባለቤት ምን የሚያደርግ ይመስላችኋል? ይመጣል፤ ገበሬዎቹን ይገድላል፤ የወይኑንም አትክልት ለሌሎች ይሰጣል። እንዲህ የሚለውን የመጽሐፍ ቃል አላነበባችሁምን? “ ‘ግንበኞች የናቁት ድንጋይ፣ እርሱ የማእዘን ራስ ሆነ፤ ጌታ ይህን አድርጓል፣ ይህም ለዐይናችን ድንቅ ነው።’” ምሳሌውን የተናገረው ስለ እነርሱ መሆኑን ስላወቁ፣ ሊይዙት ፈለጉ፤ ነገር ግን ሕዝቡን ስለ ፈሩ ትተዉት ሄዱ።

NASV · API.Bible

After seeing Jesus identify Himself within God’s rejected yet victorious purpose, today we confront the supposed neutrality of endless questioning.

Questions can be sincere, necessary, and courageous. Jesus Himself asks questions. The problem in this encounter is not inquiry but the refusal to answer honestly when the evidence threatens a preferred position.

They Calculate Instead of Answering.

The leaders ask about authority, yet when Jesus asks about John, they discuss what each possible answer will cost them. Their concern is not simply what is true.

I Do Not Know Can Become a Shelter.

Sometimes uncertainty is genuine. Here, Mark shows leaders choosing “We do not know” because a truthful answer would expose them. Agnosticism can become strategic when certainty feels inconvenient.

Understanding Does Not Guarantee Submission.

After the parable, they know Jesus has spoken against them. Increased clarity produces greater opposition rather than repentance.

Questions Have a Direction.

Serious investigation should remain open to being changed by what it discovers. Jesus confronts the use of questions as an endless defense against the authority one is supposedly examining.

Tomorrow, move from investigation to an honest response to the rejected cornerstone.

Consider this.

Which assumption does Jesus confront in you?

Examine your assumptions

Examine whether your questions are still seeking truth or have become a way to avoid a conclusion.

Matthew 7:12

የመጽሐፍ ቅዱስ ክፍሉንና እትሙን ያንብቡ
ማቴዎስ 7:12 · NASV
ሌሎች ሰዎች እንዲያደርጉላችሁ የምትፈልጉትን እናንተም አድርጉላቸው፤ ኦሪትም፣ ነቢያትም በዚህ ይጠቃለላሉና።

NASV · API.Bible

ራስን ማጽደቅ ያሳውረናል፤ ሐቀኝነት ይፈውሰናል። ኢየሱስ ግብዝነታችንን የሚያጠፋው እኛን ለማሳፈር ሳይሆን ግልጽ ዓይን ለመስጠት ነው።
