The Question Jesus Doesn't Answer

The Question Jesus Doesn't Answer

| John 18:33-37

In Pilate’s conversation with Jesus, one question the procurator posed went unanswered. 

Here are a few questions gleaned from the Internet that are supposed to be impossible to answer:

- When does it stop being partly cloudy and start being partly sunny?

- Which baby is the cutest ever?

- How can something be both "new" and "improved," 'cause if it's new, what was it improving on?

- What is another word for "thesaurus"?

- Would you rather be able only to whisper, or able only to shout?

- Can you cry underwater?

You can find these and many more so-called unanswerable questions if you simply Google "Questions impossible to answer." But really, many of these questions are, in fact, answerable. It's not rocket science.

The question about babies, for example, is easy. The cutest baby is "my baby." The answer can only be subjective. Next!

Can you cry underwater? Yes. Your tear ducts still function underwater, but you won't be able to feel the tears coursing down your cheeks because they'll mix with the water around you. And why would you be crying underwater, anyway?
