Morning Light - Matthew 16

Today: [Matthew 16] Signs, Wonders, and Revelation: In Matthew 16 Jesus speaks extensively regarding the issue of signs, wonders, and revelation. The Pharisees seek signs in order to build themselves up and find the endorsement of God for their religious views. The disciples on the other hand gain scintillating insight into who Jesus actually is as the son of God, but must be held in check in order to deal with their own personal agendas that would be their undoing unless they were to subjugate themselves to the claims of Christ and the superintendence of the Holy Spirit in their lives.
