Gospel
Luke 11:29-32
As Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be a sign
The crowds got even bigger, and Jesus addressed them:
‘This is a wicked generation; it is asking for a sign. The only sign it will be given is the sign of Jonah. For just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. On Judgement day the Queen of the South will rise up with the men of this generation and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and there is something greater than Solomon here. On Judgement day the men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation and condemn it, because when Jonah preached they repented; and there is something greater than Jonah here.’
Reflection
The people of Nineveh believed in Jonah and repented. Unfortunately there are many during Christ time who do not believe and repent. Today the scenario is even worse. I fear for the current and the future generation.They are so obsessed with technology so much so God has become secondary. Some even question the need to go to church? What can we do to this generation to make them realise God come first?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus may we realise the hour has come, believe and repent for your kingdom is at hand.
Amen
