We had another great study this week. We are really studying hard in John and growing, learning and having fun. We came across a something in John 2:18;
Then the Jews demanded of him, What miraculous sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?"
After some discussion one of our friends shared a story from his pastor. His pastor concluded that anyone that is looking for a sign is most likely lost. How appropriate we all thought. It reminded me of a passage in Isaiah 6;
9 He said, "Go and tell this people: " 'Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.' 10 Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed."
Isn’t this all around us even today; ever hearing, but never understanding, ever seeing, but never perceiving. I praise God that this unworthy servant is starting to hear and see. Would a miraculous sign make a difference for most? Is there a key, should be we looking for a sign, will the sign be confusing? Then it just hit me!
Jeremiah 29:13 (New International Version)
13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
May we all seek Him with all our heart.
Grace and Peace!
