Today’s Thought “Spiritual Adultery” G. Ward

Matthew 12

³⁸ Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.” ³⁹ But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation craves a sign; and so, no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet.

Jonah was swallowed by a big fish after he’d board a ship in avoidance of the Lord’s command to go to a village ghetto land perceived as hopeless, along with what perceivably was a lesser people (*cf. Jonah 4:1-11) and whereas believers still pick and choose who can be in the family of God, although they’ve undergirded a spiritual adoption (Ro.8:15) and are questionably redeemed by many naysayers, the sign given Jonah may, or may not witness their giant fish vomiting them up on a shore unto second chances (see Jonah 1:1-17, 2:1-10).
