Dishonest Questions

Have you ever had someone ask you a question that you instinctively knew was meant to entrap you? The religious leaders of Jesus' time continualy asked him questions to trap him (Mathew 22:15). Jesus always saw through their disquise of innocents and answered in like fashion.

But to those who honeslty sought him, he gave distinctive clear answers (Mathew 13:34-37). He told the people listening to his sermon on the mountian, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God" (Mathew 5:8).

God always responds to a honest seeking heart because he created that desire in the person. We would not want to know the answer unless God placed that desire in us. Therefore we can be assured he will answer us and we will see God.
