During Jesus’ ministry on earth people demanded Him to prove His authority. The greatest proof we have is Him rising from the dead. Jesus did say this in Luke 11:29, “…This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.” The Pharisees were perhaps one of Jesus’ largest critics. It was the religious people of the day that often tested Him. Jesus draws similarity to the story of Jonah and unveils His own divine mission of redemption and resurrection. Jesus helps reveal the dangers of hypocrisy, calls for genuine living and to draw all people to Him. May, we all “…know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. – John 17:3” Praise God for His Gospel. Amen
