Welcome to the Gospel Series- The Discourses of Jesus: www.wordinspire.org
Discourse: “The Sign of Jonah”
Reference: Matthew 12:38-42; Luke 11:29-32
Theme: The Greatest Sign for Mankind is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the Dead
Context: Jesus was at a Synagogue on the Sabbath Teaching the People
Matthew 12:38-42
Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, “Teacher, we want to see a miraculous sign from you.” He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now one greater than Jonah is here. The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, and now one greater than Solomon is here.”
