Signs in the Gospel of Matthew

In Matthew 12:38,39 the Pharisees and the Teachers of the law want to see a miraculous sign from the Lord. But read the answer of the Lord.

In Matthew 16:1,4 the Pharisees and Sadducees come to the Lord to test him. They want to see a sign from heaven. But read the answer of the Lord.

In Matthew 24:3 (Matthew 24:30) the disciples asking the Lord, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” Read what the Lord as answering!

BITTERNESS AND JOY (ALONE WITH GOD)

Have you ever been sorrowful? Have you ever been troubled? Have you ever been overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death? Have you ever had a challenge you did not want to face?

Our Lord and Saviour was in a situation like that, when he said, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26:26-39. The Lord asked three of his disciples to watch with him – but he found them sleeping – three times. Read Matthew 26:36-46

Proverbs 14:10 says,” Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can share its joy.”

Bitterness, sorrow, trouble — and you have to go it alone — but not without the Lord. Only the other day I read, “A True Friend walks in when the rest of the world walks out.” The Lord Jesus Christ is a True Friend! He will be also with us, when we go through the valley of death according to his promise in Matthew 28:20, “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

WAS NOAH AN AMATEUR?

“Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the titanic.” – Anonymous

Genesis 6:9-22 Noah was:

1. a righteous man,

2. blameless among the people of his Time,

3. and he walked with God

NOAH DID EVERYTHING JUST AS GOD COMMANDED HIM.

Was he an amateur?

CHOOSE A BRIGHTER FUTURE

Type “FUTURE” into “SEARCH” and read more about the Future!

Today I picked up a flyer at the ASB and on the leaflet it says:

“INVEST IN YOUR FUTURE.  AND OUR CHILDREN’S.”

People are talking about the FUTURE.

1. Have they been doing that all the time?

2. When did the talking about the FUTURE start?
