Matthew 16
The Demand for a Sign
The Demand for a Sign
(1) The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.
(2) He replied,"When evening comes, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,' 3and in the morning, 'Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. 4 A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah." Jesus then left them and went away.
This was the scripture that we talked about on Wednesday night with Pastor Joshua.This was a really good study to me because it makes you take a deep search to see where your heart really is. After going back and reading the scriptures I just had to Blog it!
The Pharisees and Sadducees went to church they obeyed the law but they were seeking after signs and wonders. Here Jesus is doing all these signs right in front of them but they couldn't even recognize them. They were seeking after what They wanted from Jesus instead of seeking after his heart and who he is.
How many times have we prayed to God coming to him asking him for things.
"God I need you to get me out of this situation"
often times we are the ones who got ourselves in the situation to begin with
so remember be careful how you approach the throne....it is not what he can do for you but it is what you can do for him to advance his kingdom Matthew 6:33 says "seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added to you"
"IS HE NOT ENOUGH"..is him simply dying for your your sins not enough? if it is then its time WE start living like it ..
