Just Ask

“The queen of the south ...came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon.” Luke 11:31

It seems to me there has never been a time when so much information and knowledge is available to many of us. If we want to know the truth, we can if we look hard enough. Instead, people fall prey to fake news from bloggers and trolls paid to spread rumors. In the Middle East there are many who believe the temples of the Jews never existed, that Jerusalem was never in the possession of the Jews, even if there is so much archaeological proof and historical documents about it. 

Many insist Jesus is a myth with no substantial claims to historical fact.  In a survey conducted by the Church of England in 2015, found that 22 percent of adults in England did not believe Jesus was a real person. But Christ’s story is just as well attested as the story of Julius Caesar and other pagan personalities of the time. 

The Queen of Sheba came from far away because she had heard of Solomon’s wisdom and his relationship with the Lord. She asked him many questions and it is said he answered all of them. It is natural to have questions. When I was in college, and still searching, I was inclined towards Theosophy. We should ask questions, and Jesus promised that if we seek we will find. 

If the Queen of Sheba can come from far away to seek the truth, surely we can ask Jesus, the Truth Himself, to lead us to the Truth. Just ask.
