Gospel
Matthew 12:38-42
There is something greater than Solomon here
Some of the scribes and Pharisees spoke up. ‘Master,’ they said ‘we should like to see a sign from you.’ He replied, ‘It is an evil and unfaithful generation that asks for a sign! The only sign it will be given is the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was in the belly of the sea-monster for three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights. 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. On Judgement day the Queen of the South will rise up with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and there is something greater than Solomon here.’
Reflection
In today 's reading Christ shared how people can be blind from faith. Jonah spoke and the nenivites believe. Solomon spoke and the queen of Sheba believe d. Christ who is greater spoke and yet the Jews do not believe but ask for more sign. We believe because we are guided by the holy spirit. Do you pray to the holy spirit for continuos understanding?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus our understanding of you is guided by the holy spirit. May the holy spirit continue to guide us so that we will be filled with understanding and love.
Amen
