Hey... hasn't He done enough?
"Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from You."" Matt 12:38
There's been a repetitive answer to folks asking for a sign by Jesus. This isn't the first time this has been asked. And this is very similar to questions we ask today, right?
In the temptation of Jesus satan tried to tempt Jesus to ask His Father to prove Himself. Jesus corrected multiple cities in chapter 11 for asking for miraculous signs as well. Now, the Pharisees ask and Jesus replies, "An evil and adulterous generation craves for a sign..." Matt 12:39
Jesus had and continued to do plenty and yet they ask for more. In their hearts they were asking amiss. Jesus could have bent over backwards more than He had already and they wouldn't have believed. Their hearts were closed. The question for us today, "Are our hearts closed?"
Jesus has and continues to do great things. He doesn't condemn us for our doubting at times, but hasn't He done enough for us to follow Him now? The disciples believed He had so they went. So now Jesus sends us. As we go it shows we believe Jesus has done and is enough. So let's go!
