Give Us More!!

Scripture: John 6:24-35
Like many of you, I frequent the I-80 corridor between Kearney and Lincoln. There are usually a lot of signs pointing us to one place or another. Signs that tell us when we’re nearing an exit for a town. Signs that tell us about interesting places to visit.

I think Pioneer Village starts their signs not too far out of Lincoln, telling you how many hundred miles you have to go still to get to Minden.

But we like signs. They point us somewhere. In fact, one of the definitions of a “sign” is “something that suggests the presence or existence of a fact, condition, or quality.”

For those who are managers or bosses, when you have a project due from one of your subordinates, you usually like to see some “sign” that something has been done to work on it. Some evidence that they’re not just waiting until the last minute to put together some half-brained piece of work.

We too tend to look for signs that God is at work in our world today. Some evidence that he’s actually there. Huge debates exist about whether that evidence and those signs are present or merely conjured up by human imagination.
