Luke 11:29

Brad Barrris Luke 11:29

As the crowds were increasing, Jesus said, "This is a wicked generation. It SEEKS for a sign, and yet no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah." (New American Standard Bible)

In the south, there is a humorous instruction of "how to get a mule to do what you want him to do". The first thing you must do is hit him in the head with a 2 x 4 to get his attention.

The book of Luke was written approximately 60-62 AD by most estimates. Most of us can remember where we were when significant events occurred. The assassination of President John Kennedy, the Shuttle explosion, the Terrorist attack on the twin towers on 9/11 and even less historical events made permanent marks in our memory.

Jesus performed many miracles that were "eye witnessed" by many older members of this 60 AD generation. The feeding of the 5000, the raising of Lazarus, the healing of the blind, and many others, yet they demanded another sign………..

We are definitely a generation that continues to seek signs to shore up our existence. We seek signs for the direction of our daily lives and plans for the future. Churches look for signs to direct their paths and to prove their place in God's work.

The sign we all must focus on is that 2 x 4 with The RESURRECTION on it………….Now, that will get your attention.
