Luke 11: 29-32; The Sign of Jonah

Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.

There are several times in the gospels when we see Jesus being very frustrated. This is a human emotion for all of us, but I think part of Jesus' frustration comes from his divinity. Jesus, as the only Son of God, is perfect and holy in every way. Not only that, but he, and God his Father, have given very clear and concise commands to the people on how to live. And they are still not doing it. The people are completely ignoring how God told them to live, which causes Jesus to be a little angry. I don't think we should read this story and be worried about being smote. But I do think we should read this story and ask ourselves, seeing Jesus frustrated with how the people are living, what we can do to make Jesus happy. It pleases Jesus when we live a holy life, for in living a holy life we bring glory and honor to God. Let us all remember to please Jesus and honor God by living a holy life. God bless you,

Pastor Josh
