Read the Sign You Have!

But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas.

Matthew 12:39

Reading:

Matthew 12:38-45; 16:1-4

When might I be stipulating some sort of special sign just for me?

Do I consider repentance something to which I need to be open?

How far would I go to find wisdom, instruction, direction, and discernment?

How far do I go?

When I “clean house” of the bad in my life, with what good do I replace it?

Does the sign of the prophet Jonas count for anything with me?

Or has the resurrection of Jesus become mere history to me?

Does God provide any other signs for the disciples of Jesus?

The True Light

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

John 1:9

Reading:

John 1:1-14

He came!

“And the light shineth in darkness” (John 1:5).

“He was in the world” (John 1:10).

“He came” (John 1:11).

“But as many as received him” (John 1:12).

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).

He came…to turn my darkness to light.

He came…enlighten me.

He came…that I might know Him.

He came…so I could receive Him.

He came…to give me the option of becoming a child of God.

He came…to show me His glory.

He came…to live among people such as I am.

He came…full of grace and truth…for me.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for coming!
