Dear Explorer,
Read Matthew 16:1-4
And
Read Mark 8:11-13
What did the Pharisees and Sadducees want from Jesus?
Did they ask for a sign because they wanted to “believe” better, or because they didn't believe?
What did Matthew say that Jesus called them?
How do you define evil or wicked?
I define it as morally bad in thought and behavior. Letting Satan and/or SELF control us.
We have talked about the use of the term adultery in this context. It does not mean sexual adultery but spiritual adultery. They were not serving and loving and passionate about God – they loved and served other gods including themselves.
And, there's another reference to Jonah. You can read about him in the Old Testament book of Jonah. Do you know what Jonah's adventure in the belly of the fish symbolized?
3 days in the belly of the fish = Jesus being dead for 3 days and coming to life again.
So much of the Old Testament shows us pictures of Jesus – it points to the Messiah. I hope someday you'll study the Old Testament, too.
In His service, dale
Next study
