My Daily Reading and Reflection: Luke 11:29-32
Signs are what we always look for in life. signs are measures and gauges in our thoughts, words and deeds. what we miss oftentimes in life is the true signs that makes life work. In the old testament, the Ninevites repented just by listening to the words of Jonah. Jonah prophesied the destruction of Ninevites if they fail to repent. interestingly, the scripture tells us they repented from their old ways. in the Gospel, the queen of Sheba also came to see the wisdom of solomon. and jesus used these stories to make a clear truth to the Pharisees that he is more than Jonah and the queen of Sheba. but the Pharisees were stiffed-neck. they never believed the words of Jesus; they never believed Him as the true living sign.
In our life, we are already given the sign. from our baptism, we were marked as children of God. In confirmation, that sign was strengthened by the gifts of the Holy Spirit. And in the Eucharist, we share in the living sign of God. what more do we seek? what sign do we need?
Jesus is the source of all truths. He alone can lead us to where our life tread. he alone is the ultimate desire of our hearts. he is the heartbeat of our heart. he is the song in our ears. he is the true sign that we hoped for, the sign for a better life.
Let God guide you today. Let his word overpower you. Let the Spirit move you. Let Jesus help you that you may also be a sign for others to live.
