At that time some of the legal experts and the Pharisees requested of Jesus, “Teacher, we would like to see a sign from you.” But he replied, “An evil and unfaithful generation searches for a sign, but it won’t receive any sign except Jonah’s sign. Just as Jonah was in the whale’s belly for three days and three nights, so the Human One will be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights. The citizens of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it as guilty, because they changed their hearts and lives in response to Jonah’s preaching. And look, someone greater than Jonah is here. The queen of the South will be raised up by God at the judgment with this generation and condemn it because she came from a distant land to hear Solomon’s wisdom. And look, someone greater than Solomon is here. (Matthew 12:38-42, CEB)
Sign, sign, everywhere, a sign
Blockin’ out the scenery
Breakin’ my mind
“Do this,” “Don’t do that”
Can’t you read the sign?
(from Signs by Five Man Electrical Band)
Why do we need to see a sign or something miraculous to believe?
We have heard the promises and seen them come true. Why do we need more?
What will it take for you to believe?
