Day 278

Matthew 12:22-13:9; Mark 3:20-4:20; Luke 8:1-8, 19-21.  “A Heart Search”

         “Your walk talks and your talk talks, but your walk talks louder than your talk talks.”  Jesus went beyond just saying good things.  He went beyond just saying He was equal with God.  Jesus also did good things.  He also did things which displayed His power.  But to many of the unbelieving it wasn’t enough: “Teacher, we want you to show us a miraculous sign to prove that you are from God” (Mt. 12:38), as if He had not already done enough.  Up to this point He had turned water to wine, healed the sick, the lame, the leper, the paralyzed, cast out demons, and even raised a boy from the dead.
         The Pharisees had already made a decision in their heart.  I pray your heart is open to Jesus.  It probably isn’t if you are looking for more miracles and waiting for more evidence than the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus.  “If you look for Him with all your heart you will find Him.” (Deut. 4:29)
