Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
John 4:48
"A craving after marvels was a symptom of the sickly state of men's
minds in our Lord's day;
they refused solid nourishment,
and pined after
mere wonder.
The gospel which they so greatly needed they would not
have;
the miracles which Jesus did not always choose to give they
eagerly demanded.
Thus you undeserving mortals dream
that my Lord is to be dictated to by you!
You are beggars at His gate,
asking for mercy,
and you must needs draw up rules and regulations as to
how He shall give that mercy?
The devils themselves declared Him to be
the Son of God;
will you mistrust Him?"
