January 31 Devotion

Read Matthew 12:33-42


The scribes and Pharisees wanted more proof.  More miraculous litmus tests were needed to convince them that Jesus was the Son of God, Messiah.


In essence, Jesus left them with this thought: Other generations had far less to go on than what you have already seen and they could recognize the hand of God.  How about this: a man killed and buried and then three days later rising to life? Not even resurrection will convince those who are blind to the things of God (sometimes even people well-studied in the Bible like these critics of Jesus).


Acting in child like faith and trust pleases our God.  Asking for more signs and proof? Not so much.   


Act on what you believe to be true of God. He loves to show himself faithful and true.
