Evidence for Creation
“An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a
sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet
Jonas: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so
shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” (Matthew 12:39-40)
If there was ever “an
evil and adulterous generation,” it is surely this present one and,
once again, there is a widespread seeking after signs (same word in the Greek
as “miracles”).
The almost explosive rise of the
so-called New Age movement has produced an amazing interest in all forms of
occultism and supernatural phenomena: astrology, channeling, ESP, near-death
experiences, UFOs, meditation, and mysticism of many strange varieties.
Even in Christian circles, there
is an unhealthy interest in new revelations and other supernatural signs.
The Lord Jesus, however, rebuked those who
wanted special signs before receiving Him.
“Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not
believe” (John 4:48).
He has already given us the greatest of all
signs - His bodily resurrection from the dead, the best-evidenced fact of all
history - and this should suffice, as He told the scribes and Pharisees in our
text.
In fact, there is a real danger in seeking such
signs and wonders, for many of these things - while perhaps supernatural - are
not from God.
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false
prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were
possible, they shall deceive the very elect” (Matthew 24:24).
Unlike the first generation of Christians, we
now have the complete written Word of God, both Old and New Testaments.
And it is sufficient for every need of every
believer until Christ returns, “whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as
unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star
arise in your hearts” (2 Peter 1:19).

They
all walked away, nothing to say
They'd just lost their dearest friend
All that He said, now He was dead
So this was the way it would end
They'd just lost their dearest friend
All that He said, now He was dead
So this was the way it would end
The
dreams they had dreamed were not what
they'd seemed
Now that He was dead and gone
The garden, the jail, the hammer, the nail
How could a night be so long?
Now that He was dead and gone
The garden, the jail, the hammer, the nail
How could a night be so long?
Then came the morning
Night turned into day
The stone was rolled away
Hope rose with the dawn
Night turned into day
The stone was rolled away
Hope rose with the dawn
Then came the morning
Shadows vanished before the sun
Death had lost and life had won
For morning had come
Shadows vanished before the sun
Death had lost and life had won
For morning had come
The angel, the star, the kings
from afarThe wedding, the water, the wine
Now it was done, they'd taken her Son
Wasted before His time
She knew it was true, she'd
watched Him die too
She'd heard them call Him just a man
But deep in her heart she knew from the start
Somehow her Son would live again
She'd heard them call Him just a man
But deep in her heart she knew from the start
Somehow her Son would live again
Then came the morning
Night turned into day
The stone was rolled away
Hope rose with the dawn
Night turned into day
The stone was rolled away
Hope rose with the dawn
Then came the morning
Shadows vanished before the sun
Death had lost and life had won
For morning had come
Shadows vanished before the sun
Death had lost and life had won
For morning had come
Then came the morning
Shadows vanished before the sun
Death had lost and life had won
For morning had come
For morning had come
Shadows vanished before the sun
Death had lost and life had won
For morning had come
For morning had come
