Don't Seek For Signs - Seek For Jesus

"Jesus said unto him, 'Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.'" John 20:29

In Matthew 12:38-45, some people were asking Jesus for another sign from him to prove that He was from God. Such a ridiculous demand as He had already given them so many.  It should have been obvious to them that He was the Messiah.  They only needed to open their eyes and hearts!

Still today, we sometimes hear people say: 'If I could see a miracle, I would believe!'  Jesus' reply to the pharisees in verse 39 applies to us just the same today!

In Matthew 11:3-5 someone asks the Lord on behalf of John the Baptist: "Are you He that should come, or do we look for another? Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and show John again those things which you do hear and see: the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them."

There is plenty of evidences!  Here is just a few more:
-His perfect sinless life
-His death and resurrection
-His work in believers all around the world for 200+ centuries
-The Bible itself, and its preservation throughout a few thousand years
-All fulfilled prophecies: here are just a few:
 Born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14); born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2); betrayed by a friend (Psalm 41:9); sold for 30 pieces of silver (Zechariah 11:12); hands and feet pierced (Psalm 22:16); crucified with thieves (Isaiah 53:12); gall and vinegar offered (Psalm 69:21); His forsaken cry (Psalm 22:1); bones not broken (Psalm 34:20); His side pierced (Zechariah 12:10); buried in a rich man's tomb (Isaiah 53:9)

"Then He said to them, ' These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.'" Luke 24:44

If you do not believe in Him with all these miracles, as the Lord Jesus said to the unbelieving pharisees, you will not believe if I do another one! So don't seek for signs, look at what God has already given you and move on!

Precious Pearl:
"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe on the name of the Son of God." 1 Epistle of John 5:13
