No Signs; only Faith to Prove

Mark 8

Inspired thots

The Pharisees continued their relentless attacks on Jesus asking for signs to prove His Sonship and Kingdom. Jesus would not give any due to the intense unbelief in their hearts; knowing that the Pharisees would probably not turn from their arrogant ways even if a sign is given. Miracles of healing and deliverance of demons were performed and yet, these do not constitute as signs for the Pharisees.

Hence, Jesus demanded that one should 'pick up his cross daily and follow Him' to gain eternal life and be welcomed into God's kingdom. Faith is the only proof of Jesus' kingship; not the ways of the world.
