Gospel of Matthew - Matthew 12:38-45 - Jesus is Greater than Jonah and Solomon Then and in His Resurrection He is Greater Now - Prog 44
Description
Open to Matthew 12 with Dr. Mitchell as he explores verses 38 thru 45.
Here again the religious leaders ask a sign from Jesus. That generation was was evil and adulterous, so, the only sign Jesus gave to them was the sign of Jonah.
Dr. Mitchell says, this sign was not to convince them but to condemn them for their continued unbelief.
Matthew writes that Jesus appeals to the O.T. truth of Jonah being in the belly of the sea monster for three days and three nights.
Jesus, too, would be buried for three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Jesus appeals to 2Chron 9:1 about the Queen of the South who would judge this evil generation. She did not have as much light as these rulers but she believed what she knew.
Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew 12:38-45.
