1) Genesis 3:9-11 Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?” So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.” And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”
2 ) John 6:5; 9 Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?”
But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.
Jesus already knew what He would do. When He asked where, it was a challenge to obey Him in faith.
3) Matthew 6:15; He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it*
1) The Lord knows the answer to all of His questions. He knows where we are. He knows we will sin.
2) He requires us to do things with faith.
3) We need to know who He is and realize that He knows our strengths and weaknesses.
The main point? God is always calling us to Himself no matter what we've said or done. He loves us! Oh how He loves us!
*John 1:42 And he brought him to Jesus. Now when Jesus looked at him, He said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah.[You shall be called Cephas” (which is translated, A Stone.)
*John 36:24 Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you that this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”
