The Sign of Jonah

Main Idea: Jesus' Resurrection Proves Christianity is True - How will you respond?

1. Fact: Jesus' Resurrection Proves Christianity is True (38-40)

George Whitefield wrote to the Fetter Lane Society on 12th June, 1739, thus : “But, alas, what need is there of miracles, such as healing sick bodies and restoring sight to blind eyes, when we see greater miracles done every day by the power of God’s Word? Do not the spiritually blind now see ? Are not the spiritually dead now raised and the leprous souls now cleansed, and have not the poor the gospel preached unto them ? And if we have the thing already which such miracles were only intended to introduce, why should we tempt God in requiring further signs ?” (Geo. Whitefield by A. Dallimore, page 348).

2. Faith: We must respond to Jesus’ resurrection with belief or unbelief (41-45)

3. Family: Those who believe become part of Jesus’ family (46-50)
