Jesus The Know-It-All

Was listening to a podcast, and the preacher asked: "What are the characteristics of Jesus?" He then quickly answered saying "Everyone will say Good, Loving, Merciful, Forgiving but they forget to say Friend of the Sinner." But by the time he had said the last line I had already thought of one that I don't think makes anyone's list: Jesus The Know-It-All. You know the sarcastic, smart aleck dude that has a quick response to everything. That's Jesus.
Incident after incident, Jesus would totally crush those who were against him with a few words. When the teachers of the law were accusing Jesus of working for the Devil, he told them that a house divided can stand. It shut them up. When people started talking about His disciples picking grain on the Day of Rest, Jesus didn't hesitate to tell them about David eating food. Again, Jesus being the quick witted dude that he is shutting everyone up. Time after time, Jesus kept those that were against him looking dumb.
However, Jesus was fair. If someone had a quick witted response to something HE had said, he would acknowledge it. When a Greek woman came to Jesus asking Him to help her demon possessed daughter, Jesus said that He was on earth to help the Jewish children first and he wasn't going to take food away from them. The woman then responded that even dogs get scraps from the children's table. Because of her quick witted response, Jesus helped her daughter. When a soldier asked Jesus to heal his son, Jesus was so pleased with the soldiers statement on obedience and authority that the son was healed immediately.
I know it may seem weird to call Jesus a smart aleck... and it probably won't help you get of of talking back to mom and dad... But imagining Jesus shutting up those that were trying to make him look bad with just a few mere words-- makes me proud to say the guy is my Savior. Check it out.
