Luke 23:42 Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”

What would you ask Jesus if you were face to face with Him? Would you ask for healing, wisdom, grace, mercy? What?

You may not be physically face to face with Him but you are face to face with Him right now!

Jesus wants us to know Him as a friend and as being right here right now with us in every situation.

We may find that hard to accept at times, but He knows our hearts. Be honest and open with Him.

Matthew 16:4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And He left them and departed.

When we stop trusting in Christ, give up on our faith and allow the doubts to build up in our heads we leave Christ out of our lives.

Just as these Pharisees and Sadducees were being told the only signs they would see would be what was told them in the past, so too Christ is warning us.

Not trusting in our faith means we are only left with what we have seen in the past; there will be a time when nothing new will encourage us.

Matthew 16:2 He answered and said to them, “When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red’;

We seem to rely on many things in our lives, many of which are nothing more than old wives’ tales; yet we choose to ignore many truths from the bible!

When Jesus was confronted with this He referred back to the scriptures written many hundreds of years before.

God’s Word continues to stand firm and true throughout history; take it in and apply it to your own life.
