REPENT AND HAVE LIGHT

Passage: Luke 11:29~36  

Key verse: 35

1. The Sign of Jonah (29-32)

The Jews wanted Jesus to prove who he was by giving a sign from heaven. Jesus called them a wicked generation. Why were they wicked? Jesus gave many 'signs' by the miracles he did, the healings he gave and the words of God he taught. But the Jews were blind to him. They refused to see God in Jesus. Jesus then gave two examples. He would give one sign—the sign of Jonah. As Jonah came out of the fish’s mouth in three days, so Jesus would be raised from the dead. The Queen of the South and the people of Nineveh would be saved because they listened to God’s people. Would the Jews listen? Do we look for signs, or do we repent and seek God?

2. The Lamp of the Body (33-36)

The Queen of the South and the people of Nineveh repented and listened to God’s word because they saw the light in God’s servants. Light is not meant to be hidden but exposed to everyone. The light drives away darkness. God’s word gives light that drives away darkness.



Prayer: Lord, help me to repent my sin and accept your word. Help me to walk in the light and be a light to others.

One Word: Repent and be a light
