WORD OF GOD - MK 8:11-12

 MARK 8:11-12

The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, asking him for a sign from heaven, to test him. And he sighed deeply in his spirit and said, ‘Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.’

---- mine,

The world and everything in it have the imprint of God and signs and wonders are everywhere if you desire to see them. But for hearts that are hard and minds that are closed no sign is ever enough. Every baby born into the world is a sign from heaven that the Creator lives. The Pharisees of this world ask for signs not because they genuinely desire to see and believe but because they wish God to jump through their hoops. They wish to reduce Me to their own narrow-minded vision of Me. As for those who believe no sign is necessary except the manger in a cave, the Cross, and the empty tomb.
