Christ's Question

So recently I've been doing a study on every question that Christ asked in the New Testament, and it's been very interesting and thought provoking and I'd like to share a thought with you.

Christ asked a lot of questions, most however were not the questions of a man seeking information but rather the questions of a teacher trying to instruct. In fact many would argue that Christ never had a need to ask for information because he could discern all through the spirit. Whether or not this is true pertaining to mundane aspects of life is uncertain but it is clearly shown that Christ was taught by God through the spirit on spiritual matters.

From this line of thought I deduced that although he probably knew the answer to his questions before he even asked when speaking to man, when speaking to God the questions Christ asked were probably ones that he did not, at the time, know the answer to.

In searching for questions directed towards God, I found only one. Most people immediately think of Christ's petition for the cup to be removed, however, as recorded that was a statement, not a question. The only question I found was in Matthew 27:46. When on the cross, the companionship of the Holy Spirit withdrew, and Christ was left truly alone. At that time he cried out,

"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"

Now it is not my intention to interpret this portion of scripture for you, but rather to suggest that to this question it may be that Christ did not know the answer at this time. 

For me personally as I have considered this possibility it has given me greater appreciation for everything that Christ went through as he did his utmost to show his love for his Father and for you and me. It is my hope that we can all take more time to consider his atonement and take even more time to apply it in our lives.
