“None of You Asks Me”
📖 “But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’”
—John 16:5 (NKJV)
Have you ever been so overwhelmed by grief or fear that you couldn’t ask the question that really needed to be asked?
Jesus had just shared painful truth with His disciples—persecution, sorrow, rejection.
But instead of asking, “Where are You going?” (a question that could have brought comfort and clarity), they were weighed down with sorrow.
How often do we do the same?
We focus so much on the pain that we forget to turn our hearts toward Jesus’ greater plan.
We forget to ask Him what He’s doing.
Where He’s going.
How He’s still working.
The disciples saw Jesus’ departure as loss.
But it was the pathway to victory—the sending of the Spirit, the opening of the Gospel to the nations, and the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan.
Don’t let sorrow silence your seeking.
Ask Him.
Trust Him.
Let Him lift your eyes above the grief to the greater glory.
Reflection Questions:
- Have you been so weighed down by hardship that you stopped seeking Jesus’ heart in the situation?
- What question might the Lord be inviting you to ask today?
Prayer:
Jesus, I don’t want sorrow to blind me to what You’re doing. Teach me to seek You, to ask the questions that lead to truth, and to trust that Your plan is always better—even when I don’t understand. Amen.
