Parable of the Road Signs
Matthew 12:38-45
Illustration

They were heading down the highway of life and the story of where they were going was written on the road signs they passed. Each was pursuing the pattern he had chosen with his own purpose in mind.

As they passed a sign marked, "Three Die Here Daily" they began to think, "What am I doing with my life?"

Does that road sign have any warning for me? Is God trying to say something to me?"

The first sign on the road said, "Men Working" and they asked, "What am I working for?"

The second sign said, "Dead End."

As they came to a stop the billboard read "The Life You Save May Be Your Own."

Jesus said, "This generation seeks a sign and no sign shall be given it except the sign of Jonah." (St. Matthew 12:39)

Do the signs have any meaning for you?
