I NEED A SIGN

2000 years ago
Jesus was healing the sick
Making the crippled walk
Helping the blind see
Letting the deaf hear
Performing miracle after miracle

And yet
It wasn’t enough

The people of his day
Wanted a sign

Jesus’ response,
“A wicked and adulterous generation
Asks for a miraculous sign
But none will be given to you
Except the sign of Jonah”

Jonah was a prophet
And had to spend 3 days and 3 nights
In he belly of a fish
To rescue he Ninevite people

What about us today
We want a sign
That God exists
We want scientific proof/evidence

What about the sign
That Jesus
Was crucified, died, and was buried
What about the sign
That 3 days later
Jesus overcame death

What about
That sign

What about the sign
Of your very own life
How do you know
That if someone else
Was given a chance
That they might have worshipped God
A 1000 times better

God loves you
God loves me
With an infinite love

Every day
Is a gift from God
Every day
Is a day freshly minted
For you and me

A day with unlimited potential
A day with unlimited possibilities
A day with unlimited opportunity

What if today
Is the only day
That we are ever going to have
What are you
What am I
Going to do with it

You have life
You have GOD’S LOVE
We have eyewitness testimony
Of Christ’s victory
Over death

I CALL THAT 3 SIGNS
