Bible Note: Dear RevK Graham, It is interesting to note that the Lord Jesus is making a difference between those that cannot 'discern the signs of the times' (vs 3) and the 'adulterous generation that seeks for a sign' (vs 4). Discernment seems to be a desirable trait, but seeking for signs undesireable. Might I venture to say that the signs are there, simple and evident, without need to pursue them, embellish them, or even create them. Many Christians 'see what is not there' when 'explaining' their eschatology. The signs are everywhere. (which is the name of a favorite hymn!) Just a few thoughts... In Christ Jesus, charis |
