Romans 1:1-7; Psalm 98; Luke 11:29-32

Jesus, the sign of Jonah

In the Old Testament, Jonah preached to the Assyrians of Nineveh; and the Queen of Sheba visited Jerusalem to listen to the wisdom of Solomon. The pagan Assyrians repented and were saved. The pagan Queen was entranced by the graced wisdom of Solomon. Jesus is far greater than Jonah and Solomon, yet the “wicked generation” of unbelieving Israel rejected the mercy and wisdom Jesus offered them.

Lord Jesus, I believe in you. May I never reject you.
