Jesus knew the hearts of those who came to test him. They were more interested in signs and supernatural phenomena than they were in the word of God. Jesus gave them no sign except himself and the ultimate proof of his divinity when he rose from the dead. If we seek the Lord, we can be confident that he will give us everything we need to do his will. Most of all the Lord assures us of his presence and the promise that he will never leave us.
Patience achieves all it strives for.
Whoever has God lacks nothing, God alone suffices. Jesus used a vivid illustration to point out the urgency of getting right with God. Each of us stands in constant need of God's love and mercy. His light reveals what is in our hearts and his grace frees us from the tyranny of sin. God's call is urgent and his grace is available for complete transformation in Christ.
