Why does my code not output the 500 reference error message?

Here is my code:

// /questions is /
router.post('/', (req, res)=>{
  const o = obj.prop;
  res.json({response: 'You sent me a POST request',
  body: req.body
  });
});

//Catch 404 and forward to error handler
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
  const err = new Error('Not Found');
  err.status = 404;
  next(err);
});

//Error handler
app.use(function(err, req, res, next){
  res.status(err.status || 500);
  res.json({
    error: {
      message: err.message
    }
  });
});

I get this output from postman when I use the route, localhost:3000/questions/ 

{
    "response": "You sent me a GET request"
}
