Br. Bertrand Hebert, O.P., on Questions Asked by God

"Why is it that our all-knowing God asks questions? In the beginning, when our first parents ate the forbidden fruit, God asked them, 'Where are you?' (Gen 3:9). This is God's very first question in Scripture, and it sets the stage for the rest. God meets them in a garden, the place where they dwelled and walked together. He asks for them, seeking them out. Of course, God doesn't ask questions because he doesn't know the answer. Like any good teacher, he asks questions so that, as we try to find the answer, we end up learning something."

In a recent commentaryBrother Bertrand Hebert, O.P., reflected on questions asked by God and what it means for us.
