The Questions of Jesus

Forty Devotions to Enrich Your Lenten Journey

Lent is a season of returning—returning to reflection, to hunger, to the quiet places where God meets us without pretense. It is a season shaped not by our strength but by our need. We come as we are: distracted, hopeful, weary, longing. And Jesus meets us with questions.

Throughout the Gospels, Jesus asks far more questions than He answers. His questions are not traps or tests. They are invitations—openings into deeper trust, clearer vision, and honest relationship. He asks in order to draw us near, to awaken desire, to reveal what we cling to and what we fear. His questions are mirrors and doorways, uncovering what is hidden and calling forth what is true.

This collection of devotions offers Jesus’s questions from Ash Wednesday to Palm Sunday. The journey is not linear; it is relational. Some questions comfort. Others unsettle. All of them invite us to walk with Him more closely. Lent is not about self‑improvement. It is about attention—turning our gaze toward the One who already sees us with compassion.
