ONE GOD . . . ONE DESTINY . . . ONE FOCUS

Matthew 16:1-4; 8:11-13

So, after reading about miracle after miracle - are you convinced that Jesus is who He says He is?  The Pharisees and Sadducees weren't.  They wanted still another sign.  This one from heaven no less.

Jesus sighs.  Why?  He's saddened by the underlying attitude of these people.  They refuse to see and yet they demand.  He then predicts His death.  This is the sign of Jonah.  Jonah was in the belly of the big fish for three days and then he was cast onto the beach.  Essentially, he was dead and then given life once again.  This is a shadow of the coming death and resurrection of Jesus.

Once again, we see that it is all about attitude and motivation.  God looks at the heart.  So, examine yours today, and every morning.  What is your motivation today?  Gauge your attitude - are you heading out today with a grateful attitude focused on God?  If not, you might want to examine your heart.
