Demand for a Sign

Demand for a Sign – Matt 12:38-45 & Luke 11:29-36

    The Pharisees and people wanted a sign and Jesus refused to give it to them.  Jesus said the only sign they would get is the sign of Jonah.  He then taught them about His resurrection.   People always want a sign for authority.  The Jews were always seeking and searching for a sign.  A wicked and adulterous generation seeks a sign.  They say, “Prove to me that there is a God and I might believe.   As Jonah was in the belly of a large fish so shall the Son of Man be in the earth.  Jesus was foretelling of His death, burial and resurrection.  

    The men of Ninevah will stand on judgement day and condemn the people of Jesus’ day.  The Queen of the south will condemn them also.  She came to hear Solomon and his wisdom.  Jesus is greater than Solomon.  There is a time of accountability so live your life ready.
