252nd Post Jesus on Warning Against Signs Con't. - Matthew 12: 39 - 42 Con't.

Jesus by talking about Jonah and the great fish was prophecing about His upcoming death. Jesus had been preaching and teaching for 1.1/2 to two years already; they had seen Him perform miracles and heard the wisdom of His teaching. But they kept asking Jesus for signs to prove who He was. If you read the account of Jonah the people believed his message without seeing Jonah being in the great fish. The people of Ninevah believed the words Jonah had spoken. Then there is the queen of the south, she also heard about Solomon's great wisdom, and wanted to witness it first hand. The Queen of Sheba, had to travel to Solomon to see his wisdom in action. She made the effort to come and check Solomon out. Both of these groups came to belief based on what they heard, they did not need proof of authenticity, in order to believe. This is why they will judge this generation. It has been over 2,000 years since Jesus spoke these words, and yet people are still asking for Jesus to prove Himself. Where do you weigh in on this? Do you believe?? Or are you still skeptical?? This blog is a list of what He said and taught. If you are not regular reader of this blog, feel free to go and see other postings, posted earlier, there are 252 of them. Still not sure Jesus is the Son of God? That's ok, we will be looking at His suffering and Death in future blogs, maybe these will help you make a decision.
