 | The Foolish Question
A little boy drove his mother to distraction with questions one
day. Finally she sent him packing off upstairs to bed. Later feeling
troubled, she tiptoed into his room, knelt beside his bed, and told him
she was sorry she had been cross with him, adding, "Now, dear, if you
want to ask one more question before you go to sleep, I'll try to answer
it." Quick as a wink the youngster blurted out, "Mommy, how high is
up?" Some theological questioning is just about as foolish. That's
exactly what Paul calls the man who asks these questions about the
resurrection body, "Thou fool." The Greek word here is aphron, which
comes from the negative prefix a, "without," and the noun phren,
"mind." You are a man without sense, without reason, Paul says, if you
think there can be an explanation in detail of all observable facts and
the conclusions to be drawn from them.
