What sign can you do?

Posted by on
John 6:30-35 If I wasn't in the same boat as these sinners following Jesus I would probably be laughing right in their face. I often wonder how Jesus kept from rolling on the grass laughing at what some people do. Today we hear the crowd ask Him, "What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you? What can you do?..." Is this not the same crowd who in verse 2 we are told - "followed him, because they saw the signs he was performing on the sick ."? Are these not the same people who in verse 14 " when they saw the sign he had done, they said, "This is truly the Prophet, the one who is to come into the world."? Yet still they seek a sign. However, they are not seeking a sign so that they might believe, they are wanting to be fed. Jesus worked a "sign" with the loaves and the fishes and now they want Him to do it again. Wisely, Jesus is using their bellies to get to their hearts; He is using earthly things to move them,

A great laugh - for me.

I am doing a little research for an article I am writing and using a school computer until I get a new one. I tried to access The Couple to Couple League website for some information and the school's filtering system blocked my access to the site because of the material being "sex education."

I about fell off my chair considering the battles I am having with "sex education" in the school. Isn't it ironic that you can't access information about NFP on a school computer yet everything else is discussed in the classroom.

Don't explain it to me. I know, I know. I just found it ironic.

That's funny! I teach in a Catholic school in Florida and up to a year ago I couldn't access any bible sites for scripture because it was deemed political and religious. It always made me laugh (with frustration)!

I enjoy your insight! Thank you for sharing!

Patti,
When I first started working at the parish I found it impossible to do anything for my job because of the filtering system. If I wanted a picture of an Advent wreath for a flyer? Impossible, no images. Finally I asked to be put on the parish server instead.

Thank you for sharing and reading!
