What is the greatest event in all human history? The answers people gave to that question are all over the board.

Some say it was the invention of farming, others say, the invention of the wheel, or developing the alphabet, or building the great pyramids. Some even said it was when Al Gore invented the Internet. However, while all those are important, the greatest event in all human history was the resurrection of Jesus Christ!

It is the greatest event in all human history because it answers man’s greatest need. In other words, it’s the one event that doesn’t just impact how you live today, it’s the one event that impacts how you live forever.

Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life, he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die… Do you believe this?” Someone might ask, “How can this be? Surely everyone dies.

Of course, people die; I know that very well. When our daughter was killed several years ago, it was the most difficult thing we’ve ever endured, but I know this, it was her body that died. Her soul lives and the reason her soul lives is because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ! He defeated death and gave her eternal life when she asked Jesus into her heart as Lord and Savior.

Everyone dies a physical death, the statistics on death are pretty impressive; something like one out of every one people die physically. The older you get the more you understand that. It’s harder to grasp when you’re young.

Some take the perspective of that song made famous by the Rolling Stones, “Time is on My Side.” Although if you’ve seen Mick Jagger and Keith Richards from the Rolling Stones lately, you would have to say that time has definitely not been on their side. Let’s just say that if they went shopping at Forever 21 they would be escorted out.

No, time is not on your side, time is against you. You don’t know when your time is up or how much time you have left. You could die today. Someone might respond, “Thanks, Pastor, very encouraging. I’m glad I invited friends.”

Here’s my answer; time may not be on your side, but God most certainly is. God loves you so much that He gave His only begotten Son so that whosoever believes in Him would not perish but have everlasting life.

Let today be your day. I’m going to give you the opportunity to get right with God today. Today we celebrate the greatest event in all human history, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It’s also the greatest Sign of All Time. In other words, it’s personal. How will you respond?

In Matthew 12, the Jewish leaders, the scribes and Pharisees, asked Jesus for some kind of sign to prove who He was. … And when God gives the greatest sign of all time you must decide what to do with it…

I. A Sign is Given to Strengthen Faith

 Verse 38 --The Jewish leaders asked Jesus for a sign, some kind of miracle, so He might prove who He is to them -- because they did not believe. “Prove it,” they were saying, “we don’t believe You.”

 Jesus responded by saying two things. First, that an evil and adulterous generation craves for a sign. And second, that no sign would be given but the sign of Jonah the prophet.

 Each part of His answer is important so let's take them each separately.

A. A sign is for those who lack faith
 In the scriptures, a sign is some kind of evidence or miracle to prove or confirm what God is saying; or it can be something to remind them of God’s power and presence.
 There are people today who seek for some kind of sign from God to direct their lives. But that’s more like seeking God for an omen, which God doesn’t do either.
 God used signs in the scriptures; and He used them to strengthen faith.
 When God called Moses to deliver the people of Israel out of the slavery of Egypt, Moses said, “What if they will not believe me and what if they say, ‘The Lord has not appeared to you.’?” God then gave Moses signs to bear witness, to prove that it was God who had spoken.
