Jesus said
to the Scribes and Pharisees, "……As
Jonah was in the belly of the whale
for three days and three nights so
will the Son of Man be in the heart
of the earth for three days and three
nights"
Matthew
12:39
This is the sign of all signs in
human history : that the Son of
Man has visited the earth and has
redeemed it. It is the sign of My
saving, sanctifying love and of
the Father's will and loving purpose.
And it presupposes My death on Calvary
which was the means of man's redemption.
Through My death and in My risen
life each seeker after truth and
follower in the way is brought to
life eternal as he continues faithful.
Through My redeeming love and in
the power of My indwelling and of
Our Holy Spirit he grows into that
fulness of eternity which is the
Father's will and loving purpose
for all the faithful and the true
of heart.
So let the Father's will be sought
in all things individual and corporate
. Let all who will discern the urgency
of right commitment and of committed
action in all they undertake and
do. So will My death and risen life
be signs to those who seek the truth
and power to walk in it beyond My
Visible Community.
