And others, as a test, were demanding of him a sign from heaven.
Luke 11:16
These folks were not asking for a miracle. Jesus had performed lots of those. This was a specific request. They were looking for something like Moses’s manna or Elijah’s fire.
However, these signs from above had not been provided because of belief, but due to a lack of it. God’s preference is that people believe without these types of evidences. Jesus, therefore, refused to provide a ‘sign from above’ to prove Himself.
Heavenly Father, thank You for understanding us so well. We are so selfish and we think we are so smart. But You know the end from the beginning. Thank You, Father. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
