scripture

 

Mark 8:11-13

The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To test him, they asked him for a sign from heaven. He sighed deeply and said, "Why does this generation ask for a miraculous sign? I tell you the truth, no sign will be given to it." Then he left them, got back into the boat and crossed to the other side.

 

En Espanol, Marcos 8:11-13

 

thought

 

Jesus was not going to be their genie.  Jesus did not come to be a show pony.

Why did the Pharisees repeatedly ask for a sign? They wanted Jesus to prove His authority, to prove that He was who He said He was. The problem here is that Jesus had already made His authority known and they still denied it.

Have you ever asked God to give you a sign? “God, if You do this, then I’ll do this.” Do you really need a sign or are you simply dodging obedience?

scripture

 

Colossians 3:12-14

Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

 

En Espanol, Colosenses 3:12-14

When a man told the clergyman he disapproved of organized religion, the latter assured him that his was the most disorganized one available.
