The Question Behind the Question

Discover the questions people asked Jesus and the deeper questions He answered.

Throughout the Gospels, people approached Jesus with questions about eternal life, truth, worship, greatness, salvation, healing, and the kingdom of God. Yet Jesus consistently looked beyond the spoken words and addressed the deeper need hidden within the human heart.

In The Question Behind the Question, we explore thirteen unforgettable conversations from the life of Christ, revealing how the Master Teacher transformed ordinary questions into life changing lessons. Rather than simply answering what people asked, Jesus exposed fears, corrected assumptions, challenged motives, strengthened faith, and invited people into a deeper relationship with God.
Each lesson includes:
• A key Scripture passage (ESV)
• Historical and biblical context
• The question that was asked
• The deeper question hidden beneath the surface
• Jesus' life changing response
• An often overlooked insight
• Thought provoking discussion questions for personal study or group discussion

From the lawyer asking, "What must I do to inherit eternal life?" to Pilate's famous question, "What is truth?", readers will discover that these ancient conversations continue to speak to the questions we carry today.

Whether used for personal devotional study, adult Bible classes, small groups, or sermon preparation, this book invites readers to enter the classroom of the Master Teacher and discover that every sincere question can become an opportunity to know Christ more deeply.

If you enjoy inductive Bible study, the teachings of Jesus, Christian discipleship, and practical Bible lessons that connect Scripture with everyday life, The Question Behind the Question will encourage your faith and deepen your walk with Christ.
