The art of the non-answer
"Radical Love at Work" Study Series (#7)
Think back to the last time someone asked you a question that put you on the spot. What were you asked?
What did you say?
When asked a tricky question, Jesus often turned it back on the questioner - and we can too.
On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
“What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”
He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
“You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
Luke 10:25-28
