People learn by asking questions. But sometimes we may feel too shy or embarrassed to ask a question (or several!) because we wonder if we’re the only person who doesn’t know the answer. We don’t want to look foolish, ignorant, or like we’re not fully committed to a cause or belief system. But in today’s reading, John the Baptist shows us that it’s good to ask questions – especially tough questions about our faith. Those questions can lead us to seeing God’s presence in our lives.
