"Then some of the
scribes and Pharisees said to him, Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you. But
he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation ask for a sign, but no
sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For just as
Jonah was for three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster so
for three days and three nights the son of man will be in the heart of the
earth. The people of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and
condemn it, because they repented at the proclamation of Jonah, and see
something greater then Jonah is here."
Father Michael Busch explained that believing
Jesus is not easy as we seek his power and ask for signs that he is God. We sometimes
want answers or proof that he is in control. It is good to continue asking
Jesus for signs when we are in trouble, when disaster strike or face with
crisis. Put our faith in God and not give in to fear which drives us to
question His promise. Let us not suffer in silence. The sure way to get God’s
attention is to do justice, love, kindness, faith and trust in Him. God has not
abandoned us. Do not be like Pharisees or scribes asking for signs. There is no
need for signs for the one true revelation. Remember Jesus and ask for strength or
food to satisfy our hunger and thirst. Jesus is the bread of life; trust that his
promise of redemption will come true.
