Jesus continually left his accusers speechless. In Luke 20 we read the accounts of the rulers in Jerusalem trying to question Jesus about his authority and then trying to trick him by getting into political and religious hot topics. Jesus response to them questioning his authority to clear the temple of the money changers, was simply to ask them about the authority of John the Baptist. Isn't that just like God to answer a question with another question. Just when I think I have a great question for God, He simply asks me back a question that puts things into the right perspective. Then when they try to trick Jesus by trying to drag him into the political or religious debates of the day. Jesus answers in such amazing ways that the debate is over. They had nothing to say in response to Jesus.
Jesus often leaves me speechless. In awe of how completely amazing God is! Hopefully at those times I am more willing to listen to God instead of continuing to talk.
