Give Me a Sign

In Judges 6:17, When an angel comes and visits Gideon to tell him that he will lead the Israelites to freedom, Gideon says "give me a sign that it is really you talking to me."  Later he puts out a fleece two mornings in a row, asking for another sign.  Have you ever wanted a sign from God on what to do?  Have you ever been staring tragedy in the face and cried out God where are you, just give me a sign.   Jesus described his sign as the story of Jonah who was in the belly of fish for 3 days, and that he also would be buried in the earth for 3 days, but then rise again.  Jesus described his sign which is now today the most popular and recognizable sign in the world.  You want a sign, He gave you one, it's the cross.  What does a sign do?  A sign tells you what to do.  A stop sign tells you to stop.  The cross tells you to have faith, to be healed, to leave your poverty behind, to believe, to forgive, to sacrifice, that the price has been paid, that you can win, the cross tells you to love.  Do you need a sign?  Here's your sign.
