Matthew 12:38-42; Our 3rd message on the theme of biblical fishing, entailing both metaphors and miracles. The target passage details another confrontation between the Jewish religious authorities and Jesus, following the casting out of a demon. The Pharisees demand a sign from Jesus to affirm He is the Messiah, but his response was to deny their request by citing the sign of Jonah instead. While referencing the reluctant prophets experience inside the huge fish, Christ also reveals a prophesy about His impending death….and the future condemnation of such unbelievers.
