Here’s Your Sign

March 7, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

John 4:48
Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

   

    I read a story of two ministers who were standing at the side of the road holding a sign that read “Turn Back, The End Is Near.” A driver, seeing the sign, said as he drove past looking in his rear-view mirror, “There are those religious fanatics again, trying to scare people into religion.” About that time, he realized the bridge ahead was out and he slammed on the brakes, but it was too late. He and his car went headlong down into the river below. Hearing the noise, the two ministers went over to see if they could be of any help, but it was too late. The car and driver had been swept downstream in the river’s current and out of sight. The one minister turned and said to the other,” I told you we should have just put “Bridge Is Out” on the sign!”

    It seems today we are telling as many people as possible about the coming disaster of a life of unforgiven sin. However, as the driver who was previously mentioned, most people never hear the story of the love of God. Rather they think we are trying to talk them into RELIGION. Religion will not save you. Only a RELATIONSHIP with Christ will do that. Then, when those who refused the love of God through His Son Jesus do die, I can almost imagine them crying out, “I never saw any sign of this coming!”  

 

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

 

    The sign has been given. Jesus was lifted up on a cross over two thousand years ago. He was buried in a cold dark tomb. Three days later, He rose from that tomb. He ascended into heaven and is pleading the cause of the saints today. You want a sign. How is this one? JESUS LOVED YOU ENOUGH TO DIE FOR YOUR SINS. ACCEPT HIM, AND LIVE. “There’s your sign.”

What other signs might you have seen in Scripture?

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this Passage, and today’s Devotion?

Do I find within this reading a CHALLENGE for my life?

What are one or two things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
