For just as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation.
Luke 11:30
What exactly is Jesus saying? He is comparing His ministry to that of Jonah. Nineveh had two options, listen to Jonah and repent, or receive the judgement of God.
The Jews of Christ’s day had a similar choice. They wanted the Messiah to crush the Roman Empire. But, that was not the plan. Instead, the choice was to accept Christ as the Messiah, and trust His plan, or face the coming destruction of Jerusalem without hope.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your plan! It isn’t a about us. You know what You want, and You have it all taken care of. I love You! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
