Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Signs in Faith”: Jesus was furious with the crowd, for asking Him for signs and miracles. They were not genuine in their search for the Messiah; as Jesus is the Divine Sign in their midst. Ponder on, “If our faith is deep and sincere, we will be able to discern God’s revelation to us personally, because the Holy Spirit will always inspire us to grow closer to God.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 11:29-32
The crowds got even bigger and Jesus addressed them, ‘This is an evil generation; it is asking for a sign. The only sign it will be given is the sign of Jonah. For just as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of man be a sign to this generation.
‘On Judgement Day the Queen of the South will stand up against the people of this generation and be their condemnation, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, look, there is something greater than Solomon here.
‘On Judgement Day the men of Nineveh will appear against this generation and be its condemnation, because when Jonah preached they repented; and, look, there is something greater than Jonah here.’
