One thing I ask of the Lord. This I long to dwell in the house of the Lord,
all the days of my life.

18th July, 2021 - "There is something greater than Jonah here" Matthew 12:38-42 Author: Fr. Martins

Matthew 12:38-42 There is something greater than Solomon here. Some of the scribes and Pharisees spoke up. Master, they said we should like to see a sign from you. He replied, It is an evil and unfaithful generation that asks for a sign! The only sign it will be given is the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was in the belly of the sea-monster for three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights. On Judgement day the men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation and condemn it, because when Jonah preached they repented; and there is something greater than Jonah here. On Judgement day the Queen of the South will rise up with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and there is something greater than Solomon here.

logoThe story of Christ the King Cathedral is reminiscent of St. Paul's interpretation of Christian growth, (1 Cor 3: 6 - 7, 10): the one sows, the other waters; the one lays the foundation, all others build on this foundation. The final product is the Body of Christ, exalted, glorious, and holy.
