Acts 2:24
“This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah.”
------------------------------------------------------------
He tried to escape from what God wants him to do – Go to Nineveh and preach in it so people may go back to worshipping God. And when he did, the people of Nineveh repented and were spared from destruction. Jonah let them see the sign, and they heeded the sign and was saved.
The wisdom and power of Jesus to convert sinners and unbelievers were greater than the greatest prophets and kings of the Old Testament, and far greater than the “seers” and “prophets” of today. Unlike His own generation, with whom He walked and talked, the billions of Christians all over the world today do not need any sign to believe in Him.
His Word is enough for us, and our life conversions stand as testimonies and proof that the power of Jesus, the love and mercy of God and the guidance of the Holy Spirit is in and forever be in our lives.
What we can do just now is remain steadfast and true to Jesus Christ and be a “city set on a hill” for all to see, to witness each day in our workplace, homes, neighborhoods and pray that people return to the Lord as the bedrock and foundation of their lives.
There are now two paths people must choose from today. One leads back to God, restoration and the Light of Jesus Christ. The other to Satan, destruction and eternal darkness. Let us pray that people can be drawn back to the path of Jesus Christ, repent and be restored once again to God.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, You have not given us signs but love. We will not give you doubt but faith. You have brought about our conversion through the power of faith in Your Word, and the evidence of Your love in Jesus Christ, our Savior. Let Your indwelling Spirit sustain our hope, faith and love. Amen +
The Lord has made known his salvation.
