Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Testing Jesus”: In today’s Gospel, the Pharisees demanded a sign from Jesus to prove that He is the Messiah. Do we at times also make similar demands and get upset with Jesus when things do not go our way? Ponder on, “Do we truly trust and love Jesus or is our faith more in “using” Him for our needs?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Mark 8:11-13
The Pharisees came up and started a discussion with Jesus; they demanded of him a sign from heaven, to test him.
And with a sigh that came straight from the heart he said, ‘Why does this generation demand a sign? I tell you solemnly, no sign shall be given to this generation.’ And leaving them again, re-embarked and went away to the opposite shore.
