[:en]Scripture Reading: Matthew 12:38-50
Biblical Truth: Some Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus to show them a miraculous sign (v.38). Jesus replied them with three examples – the sign of prophet Jonah, the people of Nineveh and the Queen of Sheba. Prophet Jonah has 3 dramatic days in fish, depicting Christ’s death and resurrection, but the people do not believe in Him. The people of Nineveh heeded the call of Jonah to repent – Jesus came to save the sinners yet they rejected Him. The queen of Sheba listened to Solomon’s wisdom but the Son of Man, who is the giver of wisdom was there but they won’t listen to him.
Personal Application: We do not need to receive a sign or to experience a dramatic ecstasy. What we must do is to allow God to shape us and follow his leading.
Prayer: Help us Lord, to believe and accept you as our Savior, to repent of our sins and to listen to your Word.[:]
