Point out that signs are all around us Our lives are full of different symbols and signs. Maybe none of us will say that the signs are something unknown to him. We meet them every day at every step. In the gospel, we heard a wonderful thought: \u201cFor as Jonah was a sign for And of the children of Nineveh, there shall be a Son of man for this generation \u201d(Lk 11:30).<\/h2>\n
The Lord Jesus came to this earth. He and his father sent him. He had a mission that was completed. For some, however, this is incomprehensible. God certainly loves all people. And when he saw a man’s fall, His heart did not close, but He gave people a second chance. Although people do, over time, became angry and provoked, he did not turn away from them. He gave and gave them a chance to turn around. But people stand against God again and again. They doubt and ask for signs. Even from Jesus, they asked for a sign. Then Jesus replies that they will receive only the sign of Jonah. Maybe, though, to say it was “only”? If we look closely at the figure of Jonah, we find that he was three days old in the belly of a big fish. You may be wondering, “But what does that have to do with Jesus?” Yes, Jesus indeed had no fish in his stomach. However, our Lord Jesus was in the grave for three days.<\/h2>\n
Let’s look at Jonah before and after he was inside a big fish and try to compare it to Jesus. Jonah invites God to go as his messenger to the great city of Nineveh. But what did Jonah do? He took the road and boarded the ship. However, it had one catch – he chose the opposite. . Not because he didn’t know the direction, but because he didn’t want to obey God. This disobedience resulted in the fish’s abdomen. When he got out from the fish, his life changed, and he did God’s will. Looking now at Jesus, in his, in this case, one cannot speak of disobedience. But Jesus also was in the tomb for three days. Even His life is after three days in the grave, he changed. He came out of the grave in a glorified body. As we see in the lives of Jonah and Jesus, God cares for His faithful. As we are too, they sang in today’s Responsible Psalm: \u201cGod, you do not despise a broken heart and to the humble. \u201d Just as he took care of his Son, so he will take care of us. After all, he accepted us as well your children. It is a great honor for us to be his sons and daughters. Let us not be unbelievers, as some of Jesus’ contemporaries were. Belief based on signs is not difficult, but we are no longer talking about faith but belief. More precious is faith without signs. Even so, God still gives us many signs of His existence. Just look around us around and begin to perceive them.<\/h2>\n
One person said, \u201cWhen I get up in the morning and look around, the only thing that comes to mind is that God must be a big dude to do all this. \u201d Let’s take his words. We don’t need signs to know how much God loves us. And let us try to pass on His love to our neighbors. Even without a sign, we know that God loves us. Let’s thank him for his love and never for that let’s not forget. Good Father, we thank you for all the gifts you give us. Be with us every day and at every time; we may do all our work with you.
