“Teacher, we want to see a miraculous sign from you” [Matthew 12:38(RAV]
October 11, 2023
“Teacher, we want to see a miraculous sign from you”. Spectacular displays are short-lived and usually achieve little of lasting value. Jesus could have given the Pharisees all they wanted and much more. But three years of miracles would not have saved a soul. It was only by giving His life on the cross that Jesus could save us. A life of miracles with nothing more would soon have been assigned a place in history. As it is, the suffering death and resurrection of Jesus is a vital experience in the lives of many today.
Jesus told the Pharisees, there are many signs if they would read them aright, not least Jonah in the belly of the huge fish. Listen to the voice of Jesus in the Gospels; read the miracles and see the signs and believe. Not more displays but more faith is what we need.
