What Jesus Did! 'Sign Seekers' — Luke 11:29-30

Jesus did not go about his ministry to provide a "proof show" for doubters or a "miracle spectacular" for the interested. For those demanding signs, there were none in response to the demands. Jesus was planting seeds in his ministry that could fully develop into "the sign of Jonah" - the ultimate sign of his death, burial, and resurrection. Jesus' resurrection is the primary and overriding sign given to people in the first century and to us. Our challenge is to continue to believe the sign of the resurrection even if we don't receive our miracle - "our sign" - in our particular problems and circumstances. Our hurdle of faith is trusting in Jesus when all looks hopeless and the miracles we desire do not happen before our eyes or at the time we want. If we must have an individual "miraculous sign" to believe, we need to know that we have the cart before the horse. Let's believe, trusting that what Jesus promised ^[1] is just as true as God's promise was to send him!
