THEME: What Other Signs?

MARk 8:11-13.
“For those who believe in God, no explanation is needed; for those who do not believe in God, no explanation is possible, says John Lafarge. Some Jews refused to see the presence of God in the teaching and work of Jesus and so they asked Him for signs. Jesus sighed from the depth of His spiritand askeda pertinent question: “Why does this generation seek a sign?” (Mark 8:12).

Our generation seeks for signs by migrating from one spiritual house or from one church or religion to the other, in search of signs and miracles. Pastors, Priest and Pastoral Agents are struggling hard, and by all means to satisfy the insatiable appetite for miracles.

God is always at work but we are not paying attention; He is always speaking to us, but we are not listening; He is in us, but we are outside; He is around us, but we prefer to travel far to find Him. Remember the proverb which says, “There are none so blind as those who won’t see.” Are we among those who cannot see the wonders of God every day?
