Sign

Ecclesiastes 11:3

3If clouds are full of water, they pour rain on the earth. Whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where it falls, there it will lie. 

The Lord Jesus Christ rebuked the Pharisees in Matthew 16:2-4, 2When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ 3 and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. 4A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.

Miracles and wonders that Jesus Christ did were public. The Pharisees, however, did not believe. They tested Jesus by asking him to show them sign from heaven. Since they didn’t even believe Christ as the Son of God who came down from heaven, how could they recognize heavenly sign?

Interestingly, forecasting weather is compensated in modern era. Even some groups promote their choice of lifestyle as prevention to climate change. It is essential to be aware of weather condition, but preparing for the return of Jesus Christ should be top priority of believers because everything on earth will be destroyed anyway. It says in 2 Peter 3:-10-13, 10The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. 11Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.

Believe it or not, it will certainly happen. Everything we do will be determined. Will it be rewarded or wasted? Keep practicing your faith in Jesus Christ. Lifestyle exhibits trust in him.

Lord Jesus, please strengthen my faith in you.
