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
Christ shared two great man in this reading. First it was Jonah who appeared to the ninevites and they repented. The second was the wise king Solomon. So great was he that people from all over came and listen to him .Yet Christ was greater than Jonah and Solomon but the people were unwilling to listen because they have hardened their heart. They cannot see nor hear Christ Today we are blessed because the Father has revealed Christ ? Is your heart open to God?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus thank you for dwelling in our heart. May we continue to find joy and peace through your love and mercy.
Amen
