In the first reading we hear St. Paul making the Romans to be aware that they belong to Christ and are called to be saints. He assures that the power of resurrected Christ is poured out through the Holy Spirit. He tells the people that he was called by God to be a disciple and to preach about Jesus Christ. Like Paul we too have received God’s grace and mission. Through our lives we are called to proclaim that it is in Christ that the peace is assured, and the salvation is guaranteed.
In the gospel reading we get to know Jesus calling people of his time as evil generation as they asked for signs to believe in him.
According to Jesus, the sign of Jonah is incomparable and incompatible with his own signs, which are associated with the times and his divine nature. But people fail to understand, recognize, and accept Jesus as Son of God, the one who is greater than Jonah.
Both the readings of the day call us to be aware and believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God who brings forth salvation. We seek signs to be seen in the platforms of our life to confirm our faith and to proclaim that faith to the people. But the readings invite us to have complete faith in Christ and be his true disciples to bring more followers to our faith community.
