TEXT: Luke 11:29-36
29. And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation; they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
30. For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
31. The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them; for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
32. The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
33. No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
34. The light of the body is the eye; therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
35. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
36. If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
KEY VERSE: Luke 11:29
And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.

DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY
We live in an age where believing is subject to seeing. Except people are able to lay hold to a tangible evidence, it is difficult to accept and believe a truth. This strong drive for signs is what has given rise to many false signs and miracle workers in many assemblies today. People look at these and become so captivated that they do not bother to look at the source of such miracles, the lives of the miracle workers and the doctrines they teach.
DCLM Daily Manna 11th May 2020 Devotional
The Jews in Jesus’ day were signs seekers too. In our passage today, Jesus was clear in His response to their obvious demand for a sign from Him to prove He was the Messiah. He told them He was not going to give any other sign other than the one provided in the Scriptures about the story of Jonah.
Jonah’s miraculous deliverance from the fish’s belly after three days was both a symbolic and prophetic pointer to Jesus’ resurrection from the grave after three days.
Today, the empty tomb of Jesus which is the infallible proof of His resurrection remains one indisputable sign that shows that He is the Saviour of the world. The world has had several signs and miracle workers today who claim to be great prophets, saviours and gods but whose graves are all around us. However, only One person – Jesus Christ – is the Saviour of the world.
As we evangelise, let our emphasis be on Jesus, the risen Lord. While working miracles, signs and wonders are good, they can be counterfeited. But there is no counterfeit to the fact of Christ’s resurrection. And faith in Him is the basis for every other miracle the world can ever desire.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: His empty tomb is the sign the world needs!
THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Corinthians 12-14.
