DAILY READINGS: Joshua 9:1-27; Isaiah 6:1-13; Luke 23:13-46

I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation. Mark 8:12

The Pharisees had demanded that Jesus perform a miraculous sign, but they gave no assurance that if He did such a thing that they would believe on Him. The Lord categorically refused. He was not a sensationalist and would not entertain people like children in a theatre! He would not perform wonders to satisfy the curiosity of people. The reality is that the Gospel message brings salvation and not the momentary wonder of a miracle. The need today is for the message to be heard and received by faith, not a craving after miraculous happenings. —Paul Young

It tells me of a Saviour’s love, who died to set me free;
It tells me of His precious blood, the sinner’s perfect plea. —F. Whitfield
