Within the dynamics of the English language there are three terminal punctuation marks used to end sentences.
You remember from English class; a period marks the end of a declarative statement.
An exclamation point symbolizes the end of a statement of strong emotion.
A question mark is used at the end of an interrogative statement or question.
A question, by definition, is a sentence expressed to elicit information; wherefore, somebody came along and coined the phrase “inquiring minds want to know.”
Questions are intriguing.
While questions are innate to the human experiences, often posing consequences, which some may or may not face.
Matthew 27:22 records Pilate standing before a crowd asking “…What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?…”
The passage presents life’s most important question, which has ramifications here and in the hereafter.
Illustratively, our Church went to watch a a movie entitled “The Forge”, if you haven’t seen it, I encourage you to watch it, as it is better than a lot of the stuff we see on the screen these days.
The movie tells the story of a young man named Isaiah, a year out of High School with no plans for his future, he is challenged by his mom and a businessman to get it together.
There is a scene in the movie where Isaiah is frustrated by life’s questions: what to do with his life, how to get job, how to manage his time.
However, only when Isaiah comes to answer the question of what to do with Jesus, does everything else in his life start to fall in place.
The Bible says “…seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
Have you decided what to do with Jesus?
