In understanding life, far too many ask the wrong line of questions.  Instead of asking “What”, we find asking “Why” to be far more fruitful.   When we begin to ask why, we begin to receive answers that “What” can’t supply.  Even so, when many begin to understand the answers they get, they don’t like them.  So they return to asking “what”.  But if you endure, and are willing to receive the truth, “why” will provide them.  In the end, you will find Jesus as the answer.  Asking “what” things are is a matter of definition.  It becomes a simple exercise of language.  People who have no serious interest in understanding life limit their questions to “what”.

And let us remember that “why” is the central question of young children.  And look at how irritating that gets to their parents.  Could it be that the parents haven’t asked “why” enough?
