No Sign Given

 

Mark 8:11-13

Asking For A Sign

¹¹ The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To test him, they asked him for a sign from heaven. ¹² He sighed deeply and said, “Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to it.” ¹³ Then he left them, got back into the boat and crossed to the other side.

Do we cause Jesus to "sigh deeply" by our lack of faith, by asking for a sign when there is already so much evidence from our past lives and even the events of this day to convince us that he is truly the Messiah, is with us, knows what we are going through and will never abandon us?  With Lent coming soon, let us resolve to reflect on yesterday and all the yesterdays that have brought us to today.  Is there any reason for us to ask for more signs?
