Is Jesus a liar? This is a question we were asked this week. And we're going to deal with a couple of passages of scripture that people try to use to claim that Jesus is a liar.

The first is Matthew 24, 36. And its corresponding passage in Mark 13, 32.

In both those passages, what it says is, But concerning the day or the hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the

Son, but only the Father. And people try to claim that Jesus is telling a lie.

Because as God, he should know everything. But in this passage, it sure looks like he's claiming he does not know something.

That's the claim, until you know the rest of the story. Because what this actually is, is a

Jewish idiom. It is a way of trying to say that only the Father knows, and the

Son shouldn't be choosing the date. The Son should basically be minding his own business.

He should be anxiously awaiting for the Father to choose the day.

And if you look within the context of both passages, that is exactly what you see. In the Mark passage, the very next verse says,

And in the Matthew 24 passage, the very next verse says,

We're going to look into this in more detail tomorrow. But what we want to foresee is the fact that the context makes it clear that this is not saying that Jesus did not know something, but to expect something.
