Isaiah 7:10-12
Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz, “Ask a sign of the LORD your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven.”
But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, and I will not put the LORD to the test.”
Homily:
Those that own power, control it.
Those that seek power, exercise it.
When Ahaz was given the opportunity to ask any sign, he declined, for he needed no sign to know his God.
All the times Jesus Christ was asked for a sign, he declined exercising it. Yet His life and death was a living sign.
Anytime you need a sign to prove anything, you are not one with that thing.
The bride and groom do not need a sign to know who is being celebrated.
