Gospel
Luke 11:29-32
Reading
While still more people gathered in the crowd, Jesus said to them, “This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah". (Luke 11:29)
Revelation
Breakthroughs in life often begins in the unseen. Faith at work is a power that surpasses anything that the world can offer. It sees what the natural eyes cannt. On top of anything or everything, something greater is happening. Do not just look on things based on "phase value" but look beyond its true worth.
Reflection
Jesus emphasizes the importance of faith without the need for miraculous signs. True faith is trusting in God’s word and His promises, even when we don’t see immediate evidence. The crowd’s demand for a sign shows their lack of recognition of God’s presence among them. Jesus, the Son of God, was performing miracles and teaching them directly, yet they still sought more proof. This teaches us to be aware of and grateful for God’s work in our lives, even in the ordinary and everyday moments.
Response
Lord Jesus,
In moments of doubt and uncertainty, we often seek signs and wonders to reassure our hearts. Yet, we know that true faith lies in trusting Your word and Your promises.
Help us, Lord, to find peace in Your presence, even when we cannot see the path ahead. Remind us of the sign of Jonah, a symbol of Your death and resurrection, the ultimate proof of Your love and power. Grant us the grace to repent and transform our lives, turning away from sin and towards Your light. May we recognize Your work in the ordinary moments, understanding that Your presence is always with us.
Strengthen our faith, Lord, so that we may trust in You without needing miraculous signs. Fill our hearts with Your love and guide us in Your ways, that we may live lives that glorify Your name. In Your holy name, we pray,
Amen.
