We all have categories or images in our heads to help us understand things. Jesus had Biblical images: Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. We, on the other hand, draw our images from sports (“he hit it out of the park”), from movies (“I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse”), from popular culture (“where’s the beef?”). The challeng for us is to become more “biblically literate,” to see things in light of divine revelation. We must learn to recognize the patterns of God’s presence and action in the world and the Bible is the privileged place to do that. We seek a sign but need the Bible to interpret it.
