When "I don't know" isn't good enough

The chief priests and teachers of the Law were supposed to be the smart ones. They had all the answers (allegedly). So they decided to trap Jesus. That should be easy, right? There were more of them than the one of him. As they posed their question to trap Jesus, he turned the question back on them. They huddled up, and said, "well if we say this, then he'll say that; but if we say this then the people will be mad at us." So they came back with this wise answer: "We don't know..." "I don't know" is not a good enough answer especially when eternity hangs in the balance. It seems like the boys ought to head back to the books or something and figure it out!---Think about other times when "I don't know" isn't good enough. "Is the chicken cooked all the way?" You better get that one right. "Is anyone standing in front of the plane as it's about to take off?" You might want to know that one. "Did you lock the door...did you flush the toilet...did you brush your teeth" (yuck, in the same sentence!). The point is there are lot of questions we ask that "I don't know" is not an acceptable answer. ---These guys would end up putting Jesus on a cross, because they didn't know the answer. Some people are living an antichrist life right now, because they haven't sought out the answer to life. Heaven, Hell, real or not? ---Is "I don't know" good enough? God has given us the Scriptures. I recommend you check them out. see Luke 20:1-8
