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.
