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
What is a sign in the time of Jesus? The greatest sign the jewish was waiting for the destruction of the Roman empire. Jesus however said the only sign is the coming of the kingdom of God. Today we are no different. Many of us ask for sign by wanting good things will come our way. What signs do we seek from God?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus you have given so much love. May we remain in your love.
Amen
