When the crowds were increasing, he began to say, “This generation is an evil generation. It seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah. For as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here. The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.
(Luke 11:29-32 ESV)
Why do we always look for a sign? Why do we want God to prove to us that He is the creator of the universe and that He loves us and will seek the best for us? Gideon had God make the ground wet and the towel dry, then the towel wet and the ground dry, or something like that. And God does it to prove to him that He is in it.
Why must we always see something spectacular to make us believe God is for us. Is not the fact you were able to get out of bed this morning, that you have a roof over your head and food to eat enough of a miracle to prove to you that God loves you?
The queen of the south came to Solomon because of his wisdom, but something greater than Solomon is here! And the people of Nineveh turned and followed God because of Jonah’s preaching, but something greater than Jonah is here! And that something wants a relationship with you! And yet we ask for a sign!
Have we not already received enough?
