“For as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation” (Luke 11:39 NKJV).

THE SIGN OF JONAH POINTS TO EASTER

As Jonah was in the belly of the fish for 3 days, so Jesus would be in the tomb 3 days before rising again. Jesus fulfilled every prophecy and prediction concerning His life, death and resurrection. The only “sign” that Jesus offered those who questioned His authority was the “sign” of Jonah. And it is the fulfillment of this “sign” that we begin to remember on this first day of Passion Week and celebrate next Sunday!
 
PRAYER: Dear Father, we are filled with joy on this Palm Sunday as we remember the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ. We pray that we would live according to His resurrection power every day, not in fear but faith. Use us this day to proclaim the Good News concerning Your Son. In Jesus’ name, amen.
