Please read Luke 20:1–8
The Tuesday of Holy Week is sometimes known as the day of questions because the Gospels record a number of questions that people asked Jesus on that day and the replies Jesus gave.
The questions were mainly hostile on that day. There were questions about who he was, what he was doing and what his authority was for doing them. As ever, Jesus’ answers are striking and supremely wise. When the questioner is trying to trap him he doesn't avoid answering but gives answers that can be interpreted in more than one way. He also turns the tables on the questioners and leaves them looking foolish. That tends to be the way when people come to Christ without faith and with hostility.
The situation is very different if we come with genuine, honest questions. If we come with the attitude of "I believe, help Thou my unbelief" then Christ is very patient and compassionate with us.
Paul wrote that Christ is the very wisdom of God. He gives the answers to life's most fundamental questions about who we are, what we're here for, and where are we going. Christ can answer all the questions in your heart. He asks you only one question in return: "Will you trust and follow me?"
